Al Capone Had a Lovely Mother: A Memoir

Cathy Fiorello has tasted life in three delicious cities, beginning in the Depression era and spilling over into the 21st century. In this lighthearted account, her love of family, food and adventure shines through. Her early years in New York, though short on riches were rich in family and are lovingly recalled. Her mid-life passion for Paris invites you along as she discovers the magic of this enchanting city. Moving to San Francisco breathes new life into her late life. Living this second chance fully, she learns, and will convince you, too, that it's never too late to start over.

Cathy Fiorello is the author of ＂Six Days in Tuscany,＂ and is a columnist for two online newsletters: The Barbary Coast News and Bonjour Paris. She lives in San Francisco, where she sells books when she’s not writing them.
