THE FORTUNATE PILGRIM

Opis książki: THE FORTUNATE PILGRIM

Lucia Santa came to New York from the mountain farms of Italy because she knew three had to be a better life. But what she finds in the streets of Hell's Kitchen is a life to break a strong woman's heart. Two tragic marriages, six children to support by herself, a fiery-hearted daughter who insists on living and loving as an American, an oldest son who gets involved with the mafia. And through it all, Lucia Santa - wife, widow, mother, grandmother - endures as a woman of incomparable dignity, courage, and passion. Filled with laughter and tears. Fury and forgiveness, "The Fortunate Pilgrim" is a spell-binding portrait of family determined to survive in America. It is a novel that only Mario Puzo could have written.
