Someday You’’ll Understand

Bundled in a shadowy corner of America in the Roaring 1920's is the LaStrada family. Lucia, desperate for the love and tenderness missing from her marriage to a tyrannical, destitute Sicilian immigrant, succumbs to a daring attempt at happiness and commits an unforgivable act. Tony, oppressed since arriving in this new country, thrusts his wrath upon the most convenient target-his wife. He blames Lucia for birthing four daughters and refusing to bear him a son. Relinquishing the present to the past, he harbors treasured secrets, breathing life into memories. But waiting in the wings is fate with an ironic twist. At the impressionable age of eleven, forced into adulthood and wedged between both parents, Angelina wonders if someday she will understand.
