Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - While this story focuses on the life of one man, Michelangelo Rizzo, it is an everyman story of immigrants who came to America. It reads like a novel. Spanning eighty years, two continents, and several U.S. states, this saga opens in 1909 as a thirteen-year-old fatherless boy leaves his hometown of Platania in the mountains of southern Italy on a solo journey to find the grave of the man whose blood runs in his veins, a man he cannot possibly remember. Through flashbacks, we come to understand the history, circumstances, and challenges faced by the boy's father and millions of others who were part of a thirty-year Italian migration to the Americas in the late 1880s and early part of the Twentieth Century. From the port of New York, to the steel mills and coal mines of Pennsylvania; then on to building the Shore Road along Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio, and finally arriving in the state where he hopes to find his father's grave and where he settles, Connecticut, This young man's journey is fraught with detours, challenges, loss and tragedy, and enriched with love, joy and a triumph of spirit. Readers will come to love this imperfect, ordinary man, with an extraordinary helping of faith, hope, commitment, and zest for living, merged with a button-busting love for his adopted country.…
