Karla Clark's delicious first
novel takes on the enduring themes of family, food and love. Filled with dozens of rustic Italian
recipes, this funny and touching love story offers a peek into the lives of a
spirited Italian-American family of "foodies."
Sabina
Giovanotti, waitress by day and aunt extraordinaire by night, is forty, single,
and still living above her family's folksy café in Chicago's Little Italy. Sandwiched between four sisters, all happily
married with children, and her mother and aunt, both cooks at the café, Sabina
is trying to come to terms with the fact that her life didn't turn out as
planned.
She
was supposed to marry her childhood sweetheart Vito Salina and run her family's
café with him. But a tragic accident
ripped Vito from her life...one week before their wedding...leaving Sabina stuck in
neutral, waiting for the next course of her life.
Eighteen
years later, it's brash, red-headed Aunt Lina who propels Sabina into overdrive
and helps her to discover all the wonderful life there is between appetizers
and dessert.
Pull
up a stool, tuck in your napkin, and enjoy!
Info autore
I have a degree in journalism and have self-published two novels, Between Courses: A Culinary Love Story and Annie's Heaven, as well as a collection of short stories, Knotted Pearls. As the mother of an adult son with autism, I know firsthand the joys and sorrows of living with someone on the spectrum. My story is fiction, but I have peppered it with some of the wonderfully odd idiosyncrasies of my twenty-four year old son.
It is my hope that readers will see my story as a tender look at a strong and lively woman fiercely devoted to family.
