Zora: The Life of an Ordinary Girl Living in Extraordinary Times

by Gloria Hanson

Overview

For Zora, a young Italian peasant girl, the thought of traveling to a new world with her new husband brought feelings of excitement, freedom and an opportunity to focus on what she wanted, getting out from under the yolk of her powerful mother.Leaving parents and country behind, she embarked on an adventure that would turn out to be both exhilarating and disappointing. Living during decades of enormous changes, wars, cultural chaos and periods of both depression and prosperity, she persisted in love and loyalty to her man and family, struggling to weave a life of constancy and flexibility while the winds of change swirled around her.
