- Charles Presti, emerging from the sun-drenched shores of Pensacola, Florida, crafts narratives that echo with the richness of his varied life. His journey from a USF College of Medicine graduate to a storyteller is as unconventional as it is inspiring. Drawing from his days as a physician and informatics specialist, Charles infuses his writing with a rare blend of scientific precision and heartfelt emotion. His debut novel, "Covered in Flour," is a vivid tapestry of his Italian-American heritage, his experiences in the whirlwind era of the 1960s, and his personal journey as a gay man. These elements converge to create stories that not only entertain but resonate deeply with themes of family, discovery, and the delicate dance of life's everyday moments.
Charles's passion for storytelling is paralleled only by his commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion. Along with his husband, Mike Bruce, and their beloved Wheaton Terrier, Zoey, he is a vibrant force and founder of "Sunday's Child," a local charity dedicated to nurturing inclusion and empowering marginalized communities through grants to local charities. A pillar in the Emerald Coast Writers group, he continually explores the nuances of identity, heritage, and a sense of belonging.

The main character, Carl, is learning to form opinions of his own, with influence from family, friends and his third grade teacher; often these outside opinions strongly disagree with each other, so Carl is left to figure out the nuisances himself.
This book covers politics, race, family history (and present) and love for culture. I am not an American, but this book was a great read despite of that. The political talk was well explained, since the main character was also learning about it for the first time.
I recommend this book for anyone interested in reading about recent history, and how it also can also be applied to the current day.… (meer)
