From the back cover: "After 64 years Mezzabotte Coleta, a retired truck driver for a Toronto macaroni factory, is returning to his native Italia. In a village called Supino - said to take its name from the crossroads where Christ rested, supine, en route from Rome to Naples - is a fix-me-up villa bought sight unseen by his youngest daughter, Maria. While she and her husband Bob breathe in the chatter of local tradesmen, the fragrant offerings of well-wishing neighbours and the aroma of fine wines, her father awaits the day #10 Via Condotto Vecchio will summon its prodical son. As father and daughter retrace history, they pray to the Saint of Special Favours for a final and miraculous gift."

I enjoyed this funny and very touching true story written by a Canadian who takes her father back to visit the village he came from in Italy.
