- Summary:
- Cornelisen came to an impoverished region south of Naples, Italy, in 1959 to establish a nursery school. A single, young Protestant woman, she finds herself in a Catholic world bound by tradition, and quickly becomes the object of gossip and disapproving stares. A lyrical rendering of her adopted home and its people, "Torregreca" is a hymn to the rewards of determination, patience, and compassion.
