Hatgiannis draws a verbal picture of life in a bygone era . . . corner candy stores, horse-drawn ice cream wagons, little red tricycles and territorial fights with the neighborhood "kids." She describes her visit to Greece as a six-year-old and her reluctance to admit having a good time. She was quite determined to make "momma" sorry she ever took her away from "daddy." Hatgiannis describes moments of conflict growing up when told that "nice Greek girls don't" . . . go to dances, get valentines, go out with boys and how she tries to prove that "yes, they do!" She re-creates scenes from her early childhood and the metamorphosis that takes place when she becomes the sole wage earner and caretaker of her mother. Her acquaintance with Telly Savalas is a fun read as she shares the excitement generated by this memorable moment in the life of a 'little Greek girl" grown up. Hatgiannis has re-created the past in authentic stories that evoke both tears and laughter. Her creative side depicts her twin brother's thoughts in the womb and her mother's ascent to Heaven . . . Hatgiannis writes from the heart as she shares stories from the life of a "little Greek girl."

This is her first offering as a published author. Hatgiannis portrays her life's experiences with great joy and creative flair. As a child of Greek immigrant parents, she has much to draw on and she has created a work blending humor and sadness. It is one to be enjoyed.

The author has honed her writing skills in many ways, from reporting news of youth groups during her growing up years, to writing stories for children, poems for friends' birthdays, creating cookbooks as gifts and preparing travelogues of vacation trips for the enjoyment of all who shared a trip with her.

Hatgiannis enjoys writing for the pure enjoyment of it. It is her hobby and her passion. She has many stories to tell; these are but a few.
