If you've been dreaming of Sicily, you've landed at the right place. DREAMING OF SICILY ~ A Travel Memoir, came about quite by accident; after telling my family and friends about the very serendipitous experiences  my husband Eric and I had on our first trip to Sicily, I was told over and over again, "You must write a book with these stories!" My artist friend, Kathleen Gwinnett, also a second generation Sicilian-American, was one of those who mentioned that I should write this book; I told her I would if she would illustrate it. To my great delight she agreed. Her evocative watercolors of Sicily bring the stories to life and hopefully will give the armchair traveler a greater appreciation for this magical island.

This charming little book manages to capture in very vivid colors the beauty of the island. The text and the beautiful illustrations provide a pleasurable excursion of Sicily in preparation for your own journey of discovery.   ~ G. Cipolla, Sicilia Parra, www.arbasicula.org

The author’s description of her grandparents’ experiences is touching. Here the human element is never absent. This delightful little book reminds us that it is the people who make the place.

Your memories of your grandmother brought tears to my eyes – reminiscent of my own childhood with the only nana I’ve ever known.
~ S. Zygmuntowicz

Your book brought back great memories of my childhood with my Sicilian grandparents. You beautifully captured their broken English dialect. And you portrayed Taormina perfectly.  ~ M. Billeci

As a proud Sicilian I am delighted that someone writes about my Sicily in such a wonderful, delightful manner.  ~ M. DiVincenzo
