It's 1949 and the the Palazzini Cab Company of South Phila-delphia is flourishing. When an urgent telegram from Italy arrives, though, it upends the life of orphan Nicky Castone, who lives and works with his uncle Dom Palazzini and his family.

Adriana Trigiani's consummate storytelling skill and her trade-mark wit will enthrall readers in this jubilee, resplendent with hope, love, and the abiding power of la famiglia.
