A memoir of the first eighteen years in the life of a daughter of Italian immigrants growing up in a nurturing household in the Italian neighborhood on the near north side of Chicago through the depression years of the 1930s and into the 1940s. How the values and traditions of her family both enriched and collided with her American environment is the focus of the story. She tells of starting kindergarten without knowing a word of English, of learning to roller-skate in the kitchen, and of discovering as a freshman in college that the community sheloved was considered a slum. In her personal story, she captures the humor and the frustrations familiar to the children of immigrants to America from all over the world.
