Important Quotations


"I thought that maybe if I spoke to someone they would feel sorry for us and send u back one man. Maybe all out husbands." (pg 174)
"Marcus walked through holding something in his arms. He was crying. I was crying. Patrizia was crying. We walked towards him looking at what he had in his arms." (pg 175)
"Like all tomato days we had spaghetti that night. Made by our own hands. A tradition that we'll never let go. A tradition that I probably will never let go of either, simply because like religion, culture is nailed into you so deep you can't escape it. No matter how far you run." (pg 175)

Personal Response


Josie's family is really traditional and they follow their culture.
