A STORY of a passionate woman who cannot forget her first love. It begins in her childhood in Roseto, a part of America known as "small Italy" because in the 1800s a mass migration went to the Promised Land.
The Castellucas family worked on the land to support themselves. Nella strove to better herself but fell in love with Renato, a handsome poet. Every eligible girl wanted Renato and he disappeared from her life.
Years later, Nella finds another love and together they set up a business of their own.
However, fate intervenes again and even though Renato has chosen a path different to Nella's, they are destined to live together for the rest of their lives. Fascinating read.
