About this listen

Between the Sauce, Stars and Heaven is a memoir flavored with faith, love, laughter, and loss—told by a man who survived 12 minutes of death and came back with a deeper purpose.

Raised in the tight-knit Italian-American town of Netcong, NJ, Lou Basenese shares unforgettable stories of his family—especially the wild uncles, devoted parents, and the son he lost too soon. Through meals, miracles, and moments of mischief, Lou paints a portrait of a community rooted in tradition but forever reaching toward grace.

Whether it’s his Uncle Angelo “pickpocketing” his dad during a porch visit, or Lou’s own journey from football captain to successful CEO, each chapter is layered with humor, heartbreak, and hard-won wisdom.

This audiobook invites listeners to laugh, cry, and reflect on the sacred power of family stories. A love letter to a fading way of life—and a reminder that some flavors and values never disappear.
