MIO NONNO TOTORE AND THE AMERICAN DREAM
Author: Frances Curcio

As the author states in her Introduction:“My Nonno’s story may seem like it is from Horatio Alger’s late nineteenth-century collection of stories of respectful, honest, industrious adolescent boys who through hard work and perseverance rise from rags to riches, as they look at life optimistically. My Nonno epitomized the characteristics of many Italian immigrants. As a young and impressionable adolescent, he exemplified “courage, perseverance, and exploration”.
