Synopsis

"The most we can ever hope for in life is to become a validation of sequence." ~ Michelina. ~~ "A rare first-hand account by a 20th Century Italian immigrant to America.” Michelina Pirone Pisano was born in February of 1901. She wrote beautifully, "first-hand" of what it was like growing up on the top of an Italian mountain, surviving the great Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1917, and then coming to America as a teen through Ellis Island. Michelina established herself as a writer and a transplanted self-made woman. Michelina's life started at the very beginning of the last century and finished at the very end of it. And what a life! She was an immigrant girl of eighteen when she left her mountain village in Southern Italy and came through Ellis Island and became an American feminist - an intellectual even though being denied a formal education because of her gender. Michelina was a pseudo-Catholic who was kicked out of Italy for starting a book club for girls’ in her village contrary to the doctrines of the church. She took half of her book club with her to America. Michelina didn’t immigrate to America – she invaded it. Ellis Island was her open door - her portal. Michelina Pirone Pisano was also a self-taught writer, poet and journalist, a practitioner of perennial philosophy, a wife, a mother of two American WWII veterans (one decorated) - and a designer and “builder” of custom silk wedding gowns and fine women’s apparel. This is Michelina’s version of the American dream, in her own words - “1st person, present tense.” (Available only as a "first-edition" paperback on Amazon. 554 Pages with restored historic pictures. Beautifully Bound.)
