Published by EWTN, Italy's Shrines and Wonders Volume II: Discovering Sacred Spaces and Fascinating Places in the Life of St. Francis of Assisi details the saint’s travels across Italy and his historic journey to the Middle East. Tomeo highlights the 1219 meeting between Francis and Sultan Malike al-Kamil, framing it as a model for modern conflict resolution. She argues that the saint's commitment to dialogue and humility provides a necessary framework for addressing contemporary global divisions.

Tomeo, who also hosts the EWTN series The Unknown St. Francis of Assisi, combines journalistic research with travel insights to guide readers through the landscapes that shaped the Franciscan Order. The book focuses on how the saint’s dedication to the poor and his pursuit of harmony transformed Assisi into a global symbol of peace. By revisiting these 13th-century efforts, the author suggests that the principles behind Francis’ activism remain relevant to current international peace agreements.
