The Sicilian Noblemans Daughter is the story of Giovanni Calderones family. As a young artilleryman in World War I, Giovanni distinguishes himself for valor and receives from King Victor Emanuel III the noble title of Cavalier. As a member of the richest family in Casteltermini, Italy, Giovanni stands to inherit major holdings in a sulfur mine, gristmill, palaces, and real estate. He weds a beautiful, penniless orphan, Maria, who despises him and his obnoxious kin, but who has no say in the arrangement as one dares not turn down Don Angelo Calderones son. As Fascism gains power, Mussolini poises to seize Don Calderones possessions. Giovannis choice is to join the Fascists or to join their adversaries the Mafia. He chooses neither, but takes his family to America, thereby relinquishing all his financial interests. In America, without English, he can only do menial factory labor. His family goes from riches to rags. His youngest daughter, Florence, strongly resembles her father and thus becomes the target of her mothers contempt. The girl survives several attempts on her life, rebels against her mothers tyranny, and finally finds and embraces Christ. Maria contracts a terminal illness. In his perfect timing, God sends a volunteer to invite her to a Billy Graham Crusade in nearby New York City. After Marias death, Giovanni reveals astonishing secrets Florence has long suspected. FLORENCE CALDERONE BLAKE, Giovannis youngest daughter, teaches writing courses part-time in Southern Oregons Rogue Community College. A part-time reporter for Oregons upper Rogue Independent, shes also had over 750 articles in national publications including Guideposts Books, Boston Globe, and Mature Living.</p>...2778906The Sicilian Noblemans Daughter155155https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-sicilian-noblemans-daughter-9781632324733/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3312626/ae0d4760-3275-4378-a4a4-c1f2b7fae715.jpg?v=638385191471470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20149781632324733_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9781632324733_<p>In this Powerful Memoir, Florence Calderone Blake relives her childhood of abuse, starvation, and even attempted murder at her mothers hands.
