Please join me in congratulating Nicola Italia on the publication of her newest historical novel, Seasons of Love! I had the privilege of helping Nicola with a copyedit on this emotional and uplifting story of three Italian-American sisters in the early twentieth century. This is the fifth novel Nicola and I have worked on together, and I think it might be my favorite! Here's the book description:
During the time of the Great War, one Italian immigrant family struggles to find their place in the United States. The three Leone sisters love and care for each other, but each is distinctly different and looks for their own niche in the changing world around them.
Rosalia is the middle sister, devoted to her family and God. When she falls in love with the shy and kind Dan, it is against his mother’s wishes. His family tradition dictates Dan must join the priesthood, but in his heart, he wants nothing more than to take Rosa as his bride. But how can Rosa, who puts so much importance on God and family, ask him to turn his back on both?
Blond with blue eyes, Angelina is the baby of the family. Modern and wild, she throws herself into the make-believe world of silent films and longs for the same romantic love she sees on screen. When her heart is dazzled by a handsome Cuban, she doesn’t realize that he hides a dark secret from her until it is too late.
The only sister to have been born in Sicily, Giovanna is a blend of traditional and modern values. She works in the local cigar factory as an esteemed roller and teaches English at the local Italian Club. While she longs for a family of her own, she has yet to find the right man—until two vastly different men appear in her life, and she must choose between the steadfast Giorgio and the brash and charismatic Carlo.
Seasons of Love is available now in ebook format on Amazon for $2.99! Add it to your shelves on Goodreads, and get the scoop on all of Nicola's books on her website.
