In My Son Carlo, Antonia Salzano Acutis shares, in vivid detail, the intimate, private moments of her son's life, including his final days before he died from leukemia at the age of 15.

In this book, Antonia shares how Carlo desires to bring people to Jesus, as he did for her, helping her rekindle her faith: "This was his secret: that he had a constant, intimate relationship with Jesus. He wanted everyone he encountered to have this kind of relationship like he did. He did not consider it to be something just for him. He was convinced that this relationship was accessible to all."
