Brooklyn Love Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781970153576)

Brooklyn Love Story is a tender, nostalgic coming-of-age tale set in the heart of 1950s Brooklyn, where ten-year-old Jeanette navigates the lively chaos of a Sicilian-American household, the trials of sisterhood, and a complicated affection for her favorite cousin, Sonny. Through family dinners, rooftop fireworks, stickball games, and Easter feasts, Jeanette's world is filled with laughter, heartbreak, and the rich tapestry of immigrant life. As she grows, her longing to reconnect with her family's roots in Sicily deepens, and her dreams stretch beyond the stoop. A vibrant portrait of childhood, tradition, and first love, Brooklyn Love Story is a celebration of the ties that bind us-and the bittersweet beauty of growing up.
