About the Book

E. M. Albano has once again beautifully captured the life of Italian immigrants in the early twentieth century. He follows his father from Calabria, where he immigrated to the United States with his family, and describes the joy, tradition, values, familial loyalty, and love that helped these Italian-Americans succeed in the New World.

I enjoyed every page, and it brought back many wonderful memories of my own youth with Italian immigrant parents (Carmen Finestra, executive producer and cocreator of the situation comedy Home Improvement).
