A well-planned business expansion to the small town of San Sorento proves a boon to the American business interest that invested in it as well as for the community itself. When owners and employees, however, decide to found a church in the town that is surprisingly devoid of places to worship, they encounter violent resistance from an entrenched religious group that is really more of a cult. Their first attempt to start the church meets a fiery end. Faced with the decision to relinquish their dreams of a church or risk further reprisals, the people of faith must decide if they will persist or surrender.

Serendipity, the fifth allegorical, historical novel by Bud Fussell, draws to a close the story of the Shepherd clan. A family of great wealth, achievement and conflict, the Shepherds have exemplified the best and worst of moral virtue, human longing and spiritual seeking. The long saga of this mighty family culminates in the story of twin brothers Johnny and Jimmy. The story follows the brothers against the backdrop of military service and professional sports, recounting their achievements, sacrifices and sorrows, and reveals the choices, heartbreak and triumph of the young woman who loved them both.
