“Jean P. Moore creates the vibrant world of an Italian American saga that captivates with its intelligent narrative and creative storytelling. A story of family, love, and resilience where heredity may be a burden at times, but it is also a great guiding force, shaping destinies. A literary journey that captures the dichotomy of immigrants feeling like “others” in a new society while yearning to belong, the book also celebrates the power of ancestry and the enduring spirit of the human experience.” John Turturro, Actor and Filmmaker
