Summary

A poignant memoir about the women who made Lorenzo Carcaterra the man he is today: his Italian grandmother, Nonna Maria, who gave him his first taste of a loving home during the summers he spent with her as a teenager on Ischia, an island off the coast of Naples; his mother, Raffaela, who dealt with a loveless and abusive marriage, the burden of debt, and a life of dread; and his wife, Susan, a gifted editor and Lorenzo's professional champion. Standing with his children near Nonna Maria's grave on a recent trip to Ischia, Lorenzo realized how much of his life has been shaped by the women who taught him how to look for joy and overcome sorrow. This book is his tribute to them. --, Adapted from jacket
