A Bit of Myself
This memoir takes
you on a journey starting from the little village of Bagnoli, Naples, Italy
where the author was born, to New York City where her family must endure the
tests of courage and perseverance in the burning Bronx. At the time when arson
fires, rampant crime and poverty pushed residents out, Filomena’s family was
moving into the borough. You will walk the streets of the burning Bronx, where
she started her Americanization, to her final destination in Westchester. Each
chapter is filled with personal thoughts, poems and family recipes so that the
reader may better understand the author and her struggle to becoming an
American. Book signing reception will follow.
