... and then, the Fat Lady Sang: Volume One, Book Two (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798369450123)

Volume One, Book Two begins in 1966, and gives a closer look
at my life and tribulations before reaching my goal. My desire to
come to the USA was very strong and I always tried to fi nd a way
to leave my poverty-stricken home. Ever since I was 11 years old,
I wanted to be a writer, but more importantly, I wanted to make
enough money to help support my parents. My passports requests
were denied, which prevented me from visiting western countries,
until I came up with a brilliant plan. Let's just say, my dream came
true, but it came with a heavy price. Heartaches paved the way to
fi nd true happiness and that road led from a refugee camp in Italy
to Las Vegas, Nevada. No matter where I lived or visited, my love
for my country, the United States of America, never wavered.
Please look for upcoming Volume Three that refl ects how someone
like me, who in the beginning lacked knowledge of the English
language, with $20.00 in her pocket, begins her life alone, in her
dream country and forges ahead to establish herself in her new
environment and do so much more than she ever hoped for.
