I am introducing you to the Buonofortes: A family similar to my mother's family and the millions of other families who immigrated to this great country at the beginning of the last century. The Italian immigrants took their place among the other immigrants who came before them and who were already acclimated and settled in their new country. Similar to all the new immigrants, regardless of nationality, they all shared the same passion: to make a better life for themselves, their children, and generations to come. This is a fictional/non-fictional account of the Buonforte family. A family that came from Sicily, Italy in the early 1900's to make a better life for the children and finally settle on East Clifton Avenue, New Jersey. Non fictional events are inter-weaved with fictional events and people. The Buonoforte family lived in Clifton, New Jersey, a town similar to thousands of small towns in the northeastern part of the United States. Within the story of the Buonoforte family, the sacrifices, potential rewards, and heartbreak of unconditional love are the main message: Rethink behaviors as to not repeat the same mistakes that eventually destroy families. A message that I hope millions of other families may be able to relate to, understand, and be moved by. You will see within the Buonoforte family that there are those who are emotional and affectionate, and those who may be emotional and not affectionate. Although brothers and sisters may share the same genetics, it is a puzzle why if brought up by the same parents they can be so different. It creates much confusion and potential hurt. Perhaps if that is understood, we can let go of old vendettas and hurt feelings, reconnect, and grow.

Dino Pallotta

A remarkably interesting and compelling story.

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2021

Most everyone whose parents/grandparents immigrated to America in the early 1900s will find similarities to some of the neighborhood or ethnic descriptions detailed throughout the book. I especially like the numerous deviations from the central story which provide additional family history or curious unspoken family secrets. All of which provided for an interesting read. I am looking forward to the next two books.

Heart rendering and relatable for all families. A must read!!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2021

In this day and age of aging baby boomers it is a must read to appreciate and never forget the past. It is also important to understand the sacrifices and unconditional love families provided during really hard times. One very interesting aspect is that even children from the same family can be so different. Can't wait for the second and third book. Please hurry!

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2021

Took on vacation with me and could not put down, coming from an Italian family I could relate to the families in the book. I highly recommend this book.

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2020

Great content, held the readers attention. This could have been anyone’s family who came to America during that time, with many hardships.
