About the book
"Nine-year-old Santo Marogani will never be the same after his mother dies on the Feast of All Souls' Day, a holiday all children in Sicily look forward to every year for the gifts bequeathed to them from dead relatives. The youngest of five children, Santo is determined to pull his father, Giacomo, out of his grief. Inspired by his son, Giacomo sets out to fulfill the promise he had made to Santo's mother, Agata, on their wedding day. In a pact that would prove to be as powerful as it is dangerous, Giacomo and Agata had promised each other to unbind their future children from the snares of l'onorata società - the Sicilian Mafia - in which they were deeply entrenched. With Agata now gone, Giacomo must find the strength and courage to fulfill the promise to her for their five children. Giacomo is able to put his secret plan into action with each of his children - until Santo discovers part of it and believes that their father has betrayed him and his siblings. Santo sets out to create a new life for himself in America, vowing to be a better man than his father. As he works to raise a family of his own, he learns just what kind of strength - and sacrifice - is required for a father to provide a better life for his children."--Amazon
