ORIGINALLY AIRED on IGTV on June 1, 2021
In 2006, Jennifer Anton’s life changed. She went into heart failure, after giving birth to her daughter, and her beloved grandmother passed away. A series of life-altering events that set into motion a journey: Jennifer started to ask the questions she meant to ask her grandmother while she was alive and she began to write. Traveling to Italy and uncovering her family's history, Jennifer wrote Under the Light of the Italian Moon, based on the lives of the women in her family during Mussolini's rise.
Thank you, @boldwomanwriting, so much for sharing your story! And of course, the story of the message you received from your grandfather as well.
You can find Under the Light of the Italian Moon wherever books are sold online, as well as at @iambooksboston, an independent bookstore in Boston specializing in all things Italian and Italian American.
