Voyage to an Unknown Land: The Saga of an Italian Family from Lombardy to Guatemala

Angela struggles to survive. Meanwhile, Antonio labors to bring his family together despite dictators, revolutions, and politics in Guatemala. Family reunites and seven more children born. Family stories as remembered by the grown-up daughters: music, suitors, marriages, alcoholism, earthquakes, Angela’s stoicism, silkworms, funny and sad times. A tragi-comic chronicle of one family’s not-so-average lifetime.
