Summary:
Young Adelia Monteforte begins the summer of 1941 aboard a crowded ship
bound for America, utterly alone yet free of Fascist Italy. Whisked away to the
seaside by her well-meaning aunt and uncle, she slowly begins to adapt to her
new life. That summer, she basks in the noisy affection of the boisterous
Irish-Catholic boys next door, and although she adores all four of the Connally
brothers, it's the eldest, Charlie, she pines for. But all hopes for a future
together are throttled by the creep of war and a tragedy that hits much closer
to home.
