A propos de cet article

Bloomington, Indiana: AuthorHouse, 2009. INSCRIBED, SIGNED and DATED (5-13-2009) by the AUTHOR directly on the title page. BRAND NEW in perfect condition. NO creases. NO fading. Bright, shiny, square and tight. Sharp corners. Pages are fresh, crisp, and unmarked -- obviously never read. Illustrated with a photo of the author. Bound in the original pictorial wraps. 6" wide by 9" tall. From the rear cover: "This is the story of three generations of an Italian family proving that anything is possible with honor, dedication and high ideals, and most important of all, the courage to back up those ideals, no matter what the consequences. The Terranova family proves once again that this country became great because of the grit, determination and hard work of immigrants from all over the world. It is about the ageing, but still commanding grandfather, Stefano, who started the cycle. Armando, the heroic son, who left his family and the safety of the United States to volunteer to fight for his country in World War I when Italy first became involved in the fighting. Armando's son, Mario, who fought bravely with the Marines in Shanghai, China, before the outbreak of World War II and because of a tragic incident, which he tried to avoid, was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Through good behavior and the efforts of his father, he was released after serving twenty-six months. Mario's hatred for the drug traffic in the United States, and his fight to give Italian immigrants a solid foothold in America, made him a role model for all the people that came to this country to find a better life. When he became a business tycoon, he gave lavishly to all organizations that were supported by donor contributions. Mario and his wife Sarah brought up five wonderful children. His oldest son, Steven, was killed in action in Vietnam and was awarded the Silver Star posthumously, an incident that caused the untimely death of his beloved wife. There are moments of violence, tender love, and redemption. The Terranova family overcame all obstacles to making their sphere of influence a better place.". INSCRIBED & SIGNED by the AUTHOR. 1st ed? (No additional printings listed). Trade Paperback. New. (viii), 652pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. 1st ed? (No additional printings listed).…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
