In powerful, detailed, and moving poems, Maria Famà teaches us to value our ancestors and all they have taught us about survival and love. Famà's work is rooted in memory; those immigrant stories passed on from one generation to the next become a source of courage and hope. Even across the distance of three generations, they inform her commitment to the world and to others; they speak out against war and intolerance. This book made me laugh and cry at the same time. It is not to missed. - Maria Mazziotti Gillan, Author of Italian Women in Black Dresses and All That Lies Between Us
