From Calabria to America
This book had special meaning for me as it turns out the author is a cousin-by-marriage! But my enjoyment in reading Penny Petrone's autobiography went beyond the personal angle. She describes a segment of Italian-American life that isn't very well known--that of the immigrants from Italy's southernmost province, Calabria. The portraits of her mother and father are unforgettable. With descriptions of the special foods, religious observances, bits of folk wisdom, and Calabrese dialect--this book filled in many gaps in my understanding of what life was like for the people who left the Old Country, and for the first generation of their kids growing up in the new world. ...

Should be required reading for all Canadian youth.
Should be required reading for all Canadian youth. As someone who began teaching in the Peace River District many years ago, I can state that the descriptions are very accurate, not only of the country, but of the people and circumstances. The best book I have read this decade. ... Read more

Best Book I Have Ever Read
This book really got me the knowledge that I needed about my family since I am a descendant of Sam and Jane Livington. It was a part of me that I never knew was missing. Each year in August, there is a family reunion of the Livingstons and Howse's, held at Fort Victoria, just south of present day Smokey Lake, Alberta. I went last year and got the chance to meet more of my unknown relatives. Since, I have really gotten into my family genealogy and have found out alot of my family past that dates back to the early 1700 when the family came from England to Canada. ... Read more
