"Sadie, a sixteen year old girl who has just experienced a life-changing tragedy, finds herself forced into a relationship with her paternal grandmother. As Sadie spends time with her, she realizes that there is a lot more to Nonna than meets the eye. As her grandmother recalls the events of her life, a bond deepens and Sadie transforms and grows with retold memories. A tale of love and loss, triumphs and defeats, betrayals and friendships, this story teaches us how the past can lead us to the future while exploring a woman's place in Italian culture."--Page 4 of cover.
