After years of research and emotional journeys to Italy, I was ready to tell the lost story of good amidst evil in a war-torn Italy. A story of Italian concentration camps, families torn apart and re-united. A story of survival and goodness in a World War II Italy and miraculous discoveries in the New York City area over six decades later. "It Happened in Italy" is newly published and I can't wait to tell the story.

Our high school's World History classes participated in a distance learning program where we had the opportunity to hear this author speak about her book. Her stories and the underlying message of helping each other no matter the consequences brought tears to our eyes several times. None of us, including the World History teacher, had heard this story about the wonderful people in Italy during WWII, but we left in awe of them. - Medicine Lodge, KS
