Divine Treasure: Memoir of Lost and Found with my Italian Ancestors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950775057)

Isidoro Rainieri was lost to his descendants. One day in 1912, the Italian entrepreneur and hotelier embarked from Puerto Plata to never be seen again. He left his young wife, Bianca and their small children. Where did he go? What prevented him from returning? It seemed they would forever be separated by two continents. Doña Blanca had to make it in a new land without him, in time, becoming a legend of stoicism and strength as the years went by. She ran a hotel business and made many sacrifices for herself during times of dictatorship. This autobiographical novel describes the author's quest to find her lost ancestor and bring him into the family again. However, loyalties in the family run deep and they prevent her from discovering the mystery. How can she prevail? She must unite a family of strong, but difficult women in order to combine all their versions of the story. Only united would the family find the truth. With great humor and deep insight, the author weaves an emotional tale of love, family loss, and what it means to belong.
