How heavy are pieces of silver? How hard will it be to return them? The Resurrection of Nunzio chronicles a successful Westport lawyer's obstacle-strewn road to personal redemption. Having lived the proverbial lie for forty years, Barnabas Wilson desperately wants to reclaim his identity from behind the dense curtain of a counterfeit name. Victimized by prejudice and misguided humor while in the army, Wilson adopted his Waspy, socially acceptable name to advance his career as a Westport, Connecticut lawyer. Now, accomplished and wealthy, he decides to reassume his birth name. What would seem like a simple legal matter, however, is hampered by a partner's misconduct, his wife's mental illness and the painful betrayal of a lifelong friend, his wife's psychiatrist. Nevertheless, in his late sixties, dogged by a guilty conscience and his wise, aged mother, he struggles for the freedom only truth will provide by resuming his real name: Nunzio Bartolomeo Marinetti.
