Description
Marisa Agostini's story is one of resilience, faith, and perseverance. Born into the post-World War II Italian town of Montalto Uffugo, Marisa witnessed the challenges of economic hardship firsthand. In 1958, her family left their home and embarked on a challenging journey to Toronto, Canada-a land of opportunity for her family.
This memoir chronicles Marisa's life: as a child living in a southern Italian town, as a fifteen-year-old who traded school for work to support her family, as a young bride navigating new responsibilities, and as a determined woman balancing motherhood and education to carve out a professional career. With memories of her Italian heritage and the unwavering moral foundation instilled by her faith, Marisa reflects on the sacrifices that paved the way for a life of purpose and fulfillment.
Marisa's book captures the immigrant experience, celebrates multicultural Canada, and offers inspiration to women who face their own challenges. Marisa's life is a testament to the power of perseverance and the strength of faith and family ties.
