Echoes of Growing Up Italian
Echoes of Growing Up Italian features accounts of the immigrant experience as told through the eyes of fifteen women from across North America. Some were born and raised in Italy while some have only been there on holidays.
Some are mothers and grandmothers and some are single. Some only know a few words of Italian, while others are fluent. But they each have a discerning perspective on what it means to live with two cultures.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
A terrific book, full of great personal stories, some with a good deal of humour. Though it deals with women of Italian descent, the experiences described will resonate, whatever your ethnic background. A lovely, thought-provoking read.
Echoes of Growing Up Italian is like a chance to sit down and get caught up with old friends. The memories shared in this book, however, are also universal because family is the most powerful, most inescapable force in shaping our lives, regardless of our ancestry.
