This is a story of family love over long distance. At age 12, the author had no idea of what to expect when she left Manchester, NH for a 16 hour propeller flight out of Boston, eventually landing in Rome, Italy where she would live for 3 months. This is a story of surprises, adjustments, and growth which partly imitates her immigrant mother’s trajectory as a war-bride first arriving in the US right after WWII. It is also the story of strong bonding between cousins, and the gifts of her Italian cousin as her life ended prematurely. Recipes spice up the book as well as humor.
Cynthia Herbert-Bruschi Adams was born in Vermont, raised in New Hampshire and spent her adult life in Connecticut and Rhode Island. She is Professor Emerita from the University of Connecticut and was a licensed psychologist. She is the author of research articles, academic papers, and textbooks.
Cynthia lived in Italy briefly as a child and has enjoyed many return visits with her family. For more information, contact: UConn Barnes & Noble at 860-486-8525
