Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A light-hearted look at life in a sleepy Italian village which slowly awakes to the twenty-first century. In 1977, Valerie Barona made the decision to join her husband in Piussogno, a small mountain village in northern Italy. An English teacher born and raised in Dorset, she told of her early years in Piussogno in That’s Amore!, (Matador, 2013) and now revisits her life as a mother and housewife in the 1980s, trying to give her two children an English upbringing thousands of miles from home. Both children, Alex and Elisa, were bilingual by the age of two and enjoyed annual wet summers in Poole while their friends visited the Adriatic coast. Valerie herself took an active part in village life, singing in the church choir and giving English lessons, not to mention shooing the occasional stray cow from the garden. She takes a light-hearted look at her attempts to recreate English cooking and her gradual adjustment to a rural way of life which no longer exists in Italy. As the book draws closer to 2015 and Valerie becomes a grandmother, she marvels at how Piussogno has changed and how quickly her children have grown up. As the title of the book says, Mamma Mia... That’s Life! Valerie’s writing is light and peppered with very English humour. It’s a book to pick up and flick through to relax, and picture an Italian village as it was over thirty years ago. It will appeal to fans of travel writing, particularly lovers of Italy.

Book excerpt: Growing up a second-generation Italian woman in Canada is not as easy as it looks. In fact, it requires the keeping of secrets, the telling of lies, the casting of curses, and the patience of a saint. Here 20 Italian-Canadian women share their stories -- some comic, some tragic, some nostalgic, all true -- about living a double life with a private/public split personality. Intimate, inspiring, brave, and confessional, these tales reveal women old enough to reminisce yet young enough to revolutionize. Balancing between the Old Country and the new, a respect for tradition and the need to break with it, this collection is a rare and surprising blend of humour and candor that promises the perfect conversation-starter. Mamma mia, what will they dare say next?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The screaming and yelling was intense. There were slammed doors, broken TVs, broken dishes. There was love, there was kindness. There was forgiveness. Mamma Mia, I'm Pregnant is the story of an overweight, beautiful young Italian girl (one of six) who grows up in an extremely strict household. She has a father who has a volatile temper and demands everything his way. Her mother is a subservient Italian wife but adheres so strongly to the demands of her husband that she unknowingly neglects the attention, guidance, and emotion her daughters so desperately crave. Maria finds herself compensating for the lack of her mother's attention by overeating and becomes fat. As she grows up in this sheltered, rigid environment created by her father, she often wonders and is curious about other households, cultures. She then loses weight in her early teens and is overwhelmed by the amount of male attention she is now getting. She does not know how to handle it. She becomes defiant, disobedient, and stubborn. She is forbidden from dating certain male prospects but doesn't listen. Maria becomes a statistic. She becomes a pregnant teenager. This is a book of stories and challenges she faced while trying to raise a baby, toddler, and young man (one and the same), as well as herself after teenage marriage/divorce while embarking upon young adulthood. She had to live the consequences of decisions/choices she made as a young adult. This book reveals some of those stories.
