Summary
"These ten stories are primarily set in working-class river towns in the Pittsburgh area, where Italian American women and girls draw from their culture and folklore to bring life and a sense of wonder to a seemingly barren region of the Rust Belt. Each story catapults the ordinary into something original and unpredictable."--BOOK JACKET.
