- Summary:
- "Based on the real-life experiences of the author's paternal grandmother, Life's Journey explores the emigration of a young woman, Geltrude Carmela DiLullo, from Italy to the United States at the turn of the twentieth century as part of an arranged marriage. Along the way, with a lot of hard work and dedication, Geltrude--or Carmela, as she prefers to be called--overcomes enormous obstacles, from her solo journey across the seas to overcoming illness and betrayal; finds love in the life arranged for her; and begins a legacy for her family, which is flourishing still today"-- Provided by publisher.
