Bob talks to Mary Patterson about her Sicilian roots.  Interesting story about 6 sisters who's mom was born in America and returned to Sicily only to come back years later with her husband and family. 


Mary is the author of

Far from her Sicilian homeland, Anna discovers an inner strength she never realized she possessed. Anna is determined to make this new life in a strange new world a success. From sleeping on her friends' Angie and Angelo's floor, working in a garment factory, to running a bustling business in a brownstone mansion, Anna faces her future with courage. She endures any hardship to ensure her daughters' lives are happy and secure.
