Book Description
As she set sail with her family that beautiful July day on the ill-fated voyage of the Andrea Doria, eight-year-old Rita Esposito’s life was about to change forever. Her last view of her beloved Naples was of the abundant flowers and stately fountain, but only days later Rita was overwhelmed with horror when the ocean liner sank. Separated from her mother, Rita was among the lucky survivors rescued by a nearby ship and brought to the docks at New York, where her first exposure to the city was one of chaos, desperation, and unfathomable sadness. Faced with a new reality of foster care and life in an orphanage controlled by a heartless Mother Superior, Rita awaited news of her mother. Unbroken Chain of Love is the story of growing up as an Italian immigrant in New York City in the 1950s and 1960s—from bullying and indifferent teachers, to compassion and support from those who recognized the young woman’s abilities and determination. Her journey weaves through the Italian neighborhoods of New York City, to the Tuscany wine region in Italy, the introduction of the underworld, and the joy and heartbreak that comes with the undying love of two devoted men.

Hearts Unbroken
Author: Cynthia Leitich Smith
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 1536202002
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith turns to realistic fiction with the thoughtful story of a Native teen navigating the complicated, confusing waters of high school — and first love. When Louise Wolfe’s first real boyfriend mocks and disrespects Native people in front of her, she breaks things off and dumps him over e-mail. It’s her senior year, anyway, and she’d rather spend her time with her family and friends and working on the school newspaper. The editors pair her up with Joey Kairouz, the ambitious new photojournalist, and in no time the paper’s staff find themselves with a major story to cover: the school musical director’s inclusive approach to casting The Wizard of Oz has been provoking backlash in their mostly white, middle-class Kansas town. From the newly formed Parents Against Revisionist Theater to anonymous threats, long-held prejudices are being laid bare and hostilities are spreading against teachers, parents, and students — especially the cast members at the center of the controversy, including Lou’s little brother, who’s playing the Tin Man. As tensions mount at school, so does a romance between Lou and Joey — but as she’s learned, “dating while Native” can be difficult. In trying to protect her own heart, will Lou break Joey’s?
