This sounds more like a memoir. Though the themes of family, community, faith, etc sound good, overall I don’t think this is a book I would pick. Thanks for a neat review.

Usually I am not into story collection books such as this> yet this one does come across as interesting but I am still not sure it is a book that I will actually read.

A collection of essays in which the author shares his life experiences with family and relationships sounds like a heartwarming read, especially because most of these experiences are relatable for readers. Thank you so much for the engaging review.

This book seems nostalgic. I am intrigued by the movie & song references mentioned in it. Looking forward to reading it. Congrats on BOTD!

While nonfiction is not something I read regularly, I do enjoy biographies and autobiographies, especially when they are well written. This novel sounds as if it fits into the category of nonfiction that I willingly read - especially as the stories provided seem to be filled with family life and those humorous mistakes we all make - so I may just choose to add this book to my collection. Thank you for the review!

Thank you for the review! This writing style is one I stay away from. I just can't absorb it for some reason

Set in Philly during the 50s and 60s, today's BOTD takes us on an unforgettable journey through the author's life, alongside his Italian family. This collection of 27 essays is both heart-warming and entertaining. Pull up a seat and stay awhile....you're really going to enjoy this one!! Thank you so much!!

Definitely sounds like a positive story, of family devotion, faith and community. It's not one that I would usually read, but I can apply Kate such a story. Congratulations on BOTD.

It is always good to learn. I especially love to learn about other people's culture, habits and more. It seems like this book will offer me exactly that. On top of that, it is exceptionally edited. Great review.

I would be delighted with stories about family and old-fashioned living in some simple town ambiance. The experiences of childhood are readily reminisced with this novel. How simple and sweet was life then. The pockets of civilization seemed so far from each other, unlike now that events in faraway places could perturb you in your peaceful neighborhood. I agree, it's been all good, those good ol' times. Thanks for the review.

Sounds very heartwarming. I've never seen an author write about their life like this, might be interesting to see how it reads. Nice review.
