About the Book
The majestic beauty of the Italian Alps at the turn of the twentieth
century is the setting of the first meeting of Enza, a practical beauty,
and Ciro, a strapping mountain boy. When Ciro catches the local priest
in a scandal, he is banished and sent to hide in America. Soon Enza's
family faces disaster and she, too, is forced to go to America.
Unbeknownst to one another, they both build fledgling lives in America. Ciro masters shoemaking and Enza takes a factory job until fate intervenes and reunites them. But it is too late: Ciro has volunteered to serve in World War I as Enza begins her impressive career as a seamstress at the Metropolitan Opera House. Over time, these star-crossed lovers meet and separate, until the power of their love changes both of their lives forever.
