<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Iezzi retells the charming stories that his Italian grandmother told him as a boy. When young Vincent had a question or a problem, Nonna would sit him at the table and, over a cup of coffee, she would weave a story of homespun wisdom that contained an answer or solution.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>During World War II, young Vincent Iezzi was at home with his grandmother in his Philadelphia neighborhood. Because of the war effort, most of the mothers, big sisters, and aunts were working in the factories while most of the fathers, big brothers, and uncles were off at war. Nonna always knew just what to say. Gifted with a native ability to tell stories, her solution for every one of Vincent's questions or problems was another elaborate story, accompanied by cups of coffee. And such stories they are! Angels and saints take on peasant charm, God paints peacocks' tails, and the humble good Joe always finishes first. Pull up a chair. You can almost smell the coffee. A Servant Book.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Vincent M. Iezzi, who has followed in his grandmother's footsteps as a storyteller, retired from a career at the Philadelphia Inquirer/Daily News and is active in his parish. He is also a member of the Secular Franciscan Order (SFO) and he belongs to the Order of the Sons of Italy, the Knights of Columbus, and the St. Richard-St. Monica Prayer Community.
