Scrambling to keep her job and care for her mother, Sofia is convinced confronting the past will heal all wounds, but her old world Italian family wants to keep the past in the past.<\/p>\n<p>During this time, she encounters Antonio, a Vaudeville pianist with a street-smart dog, seeking to discover why his father was mysteriously killed. Their crossed paths uncover a frightening underworld in Little Italy. Bringing the truth to light may cost Sofia&#8217;s mother&#8217;s sanity, Antonio&#8217;s career, and the livelihoods of countless immigrants. Change is on the horizon, but it may not bring what they expect.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the cover to my new book, Sofia&#8217;s Tune, which will be published in November, the final book in the Ellis Island series following Grace&#8217;s Pictures and Annie&#8217;s Stories.
