Book #1 in our Blue Bustard Memoir Series "Lyrical and funny and wise, Catto's one-of-a-kind family memoir is a stunning valentine to story telling." - Catherine Browder, author of Secret Lives "An intimate, rather than private look at family life, Patricia Catto applies an impeccable ear and a Coppola-like eye to paint a wonderfully exquisite, moving memoir of the Italian-American experience. Grazie " - Joey Nicoletti, author of Cannoli Gangster "Brisk, frank and always funny... With surpassing compassion, Catto animates the mothers, fathers, seers, ne'er-do-wells, misanthropes and heroes, whose sincerity and humor bring the lost world of Aunt Pig to spiny, sweet, crackling life." -George Guida, author of New York and Other Lovers: Poems Illustrations by Debra Di Blasi. This book is also available in Kindle and fine art limited editions.
