Author of Forgive for Good and Forgive for Love."A coming-of-age love story, compellingly told, with a combination or controlled sentiment and wry humor that brings to life Italy during the early postwar years, Brooklyn during the 1950s, and New York and Southern California during the 1960s - each location forming the backdrop of Marietta's unique narrative and complicated family life...A great read." - Marion Osmun, Editor, New York, NY.
