A touching, heartfelt story of growing up in a home of secrets and silence. Linda Dini Jenkins bravely probes deep into her past to understand the complex legacy of her Italian father and English-Irish mother. Slowly, sometimes painfully, she finds understanding and strength in her Italian roots. Her struggle and ultimate self-acceptance will inspire all—not just Italian-Americans—who have experienced stigma and even shame because of their ethnicity. By choosing to “become Italian,” Linda chose to grow into her fullest self. – Diane Hales
