Peggy writes about her immediate and extended family who settled in Boston's Italian enclave, the North End. From her strong and feisty Grandma Nonna to all of her Aunts, Uncles and Cousins that lived close by, we are given a firsthand glimpse of the hardships, hopes, joy and sorrow that immigrants faced when coming to a new land. Tales of her Nonna, Mother and Father will capture your hearts. Peggy would live in both the "Italian Immigrant world" and the "American world" and realize in her heart that "there is no place like home'. In addition, you may just learn a bit about the history, culture and residents of the North End.
"I don't want the stories of my immigrant family to be forgotten. It would be disrespectful to them. My family gave up everything to come to America, and they struggled, each family having its own burdens to bear. Why should it be buried when I, in a small way, can help to keep it alive? Their stories must be told. If not, that incredible era in history, the Age of Immigration filled with blood, sweat and tears, will fade away and die".
That time in history that I was privileged to be a small part of needs to be preserved.
