Flavia e-bog

Flavia, a young Italian girl conceived in Palermo, born in America, journeys to maturity through a transformative country. Accompanied by love, faith, and persistence, with her brother, husband, aunts, and other family and friends she endures the hardships of life. Sharing and finding joy with all she encounters. Together they wander through a maze of death, illness, gambling, horses, ships, and women. Intertwined with the greed and seduction of those about her to survive in this new land, she endured through inherent innocence, goodness, love, and faith. The men in her life, a stately father, a carefree brother, and a stoic husband greatly influenced her demeanor and outlook on life. Without failure with the never-wavering belief and faith in the Blessed Mother, she continued and always derived and shared hope, kindness and happiness. Through diversity and difficulties, she is persistent with a never-give-up attitude. Always looking for and expecting the best in people and events. E SEMPRE TROPPO PRESTO PER ARRENDERS(It's always too soon to give up.)
