A timely family saga of carving one's path in ancestral and present culture. Gaby, a woman in her mid-thirties, must balance the different cultures of her childhood and adult life, juggle loyalties to her family, accept her family's past, and discover her own identity to chart her way forward in this family saga. As Gaby prepares to marry her partner Russ, she shuttles between her current home in Boston and her childhood home in The Bronx and is confronted by her mother's accustomed and unwelcome expectations. While in The Bronx, childhood memories resurface as Gaby navigates her present relationship with her mother as well as with her grandmother, aunt, and cousin. In a short period of time, Gaby reexamines her past and that of her mother and grandmother, and uncovers surprising family secrets that forces her to endure and rise above a life-changing tragedy. Gaby's journey in The Sicilian Daughter will appeal to audiences looking for their next great multigenerational book club read!
