FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “America’s Mighty Mouse: The Chuck Vinci Story” to Launch Worldwide — A True American Family Saga of Faith, Grit and Olympic Gold CLEVELAND, OHIO — October 8, 2025 — Author Christine Taylor-Lohmeyer announces the highly anticipated release of America’s Mighty Mouse: The Chuck Vinci Story, an epic historical novel based on the true story of two-time Olympic gold medalist Charles “Chuck” Vinci Jr., one of the most remarkable athletes in American history. The Kindle eBook edition is now available for pre-order on Amazon, with the official digital release scheduled for October 24, 2025. The paperback and hardcover editions will be released globally on October 26, 2025, through Amazon and participating retailers. A Story That Spans Continents — and Generations America’s Mighty Mouse follows the extraordinary Vinci family from the olive groves of Sicily and the piazzas of Rome to the working-class neighborhoods of Cleveland’s Little Italy. It’s a sweeping, deeply human portrait of faith, endurance and the American dream — culminating in the rise of a 123-pound weightlifter who would lift the world. At its heart, the novel tells the story of Calogero “Charles” Vinci Sr., a Sicilian immigrant laborer, and his young Roman bride, Maria Cerrito, who journey to America in the 1920s to build a new life for their growing family. Amid the Great Depression, war, and hardship, their youngest son — Chuck Vinci — emerges as one of the most determined athletes of his generation, earning Olympic gold in Melbourne (1956) and again in Rome (1960). The book captures not only Chuck Vinci’s athletic triumph but also the powerful legacy of love, sacrifice and resilience that made his rise possible. A Legacy Rooted in Family and Faith “This story is more than Olympic history,” says Christine Taylor-Lohmeyer, author and granddaughter of the Vinci family matriarch. “It’s about faith, family and the belief that the smallest among us can rise to do the greatest of things. Chuck Vinci’s strength came from generations before him — from parents who never stopped believing in the American dream.” Christine Taylor-Lohmeyer, a writer and Commercial and Residential real estate professional based in Indiana, weaves the Vinci family’s oral history and firsthand accounts into a cinematic, emotionally charged narrative that resonates far beyond sports. The novel blends the authenticity of biography with the heart of historical fiction, appealing to fans of Angela’s Ashes, Unbroken, and Cinderella Man.
