Overview

Thirty-something sisters Ellen and Margo Savino discover there's more to Italy than the typical tourist destinations when they check out their family roots in the foothills of the Italian Alps, much to the dismay of their sassy grandmother Clarita. Nonnie Clarita, who now lives in St. Louis, was only eighteen when she left her widowed mother in Pont Canavese and immigrated to America after WWII. Why she has no regrets about leaving or never returning is a mystery Ellen and Margo are determined to resolve, with or without the obstinate Clarita's cooperation. Could it be the horrific murder of the father Clarita adored? Or the questionable suicide of Clarita's young friend and later the drowning of the boy's grieving father? Or, her ill-fated teenage romance with a persistent Resistance fighter that triggered this series of tragic events?

Author Information

Loretta Giacoletto was named a finalist in the 2015 and 2014 Soon to be Famous Illinois Author Project for her sagas, Family Deceptions and Chicago's Headmistress. She divides her time between the St. Louis Metropolitan area of Southern Illinois and Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks where she writes fiction, essays, and her blog Loretta on Life while her husband cruises the waters for bass and crappie. Their five children have left the once chaotic nest but occasionally return for her to-die-for ravioli and roasted peppers topped with garlic-laden bagna cauda. An avid traveler, Loretta has visited countries in Europe and Asia but Italy remains her favorite, especially the area from where her family originates: the Piedmont region near the Italian Alps. Her novels focus on characters caught up in problems of their own doing, crime often laced with romance that may not end happily-ever-after.
