Northern Italy, 1934. When her elder sister marries a banker to suit her father's wishes rather than her own, Evelina swears that she will never marry out of duty. Evelina wants these carefree days to last forever. But nothing lasts forever as the shadows of war are darkening over Europe. New York, 1979. It is Thanksgiving and Evelina has her close family and beloved friends gathered around, her heart weighted with gratitude for what she has and regret for what she has given up. She has lived in America for over thirty years, but she is still Italian in her soul.
