Angela Rosa must cope with the building tension--exacerbated by Agostino's wandering eye--of raising five U.S.-born children who are struggling to define themselves within a family rooted in old-world tradition. But the events of a single tragic evening are about to bring all of their lives to a sudden, irreversible standstill--as a once resilient family begins to unravel under a crushing burden of guilt. A poignant testament to the power of sacrifice, loyalty, and unconditional love, \u003cem\u003eWhen the World Was Young\u003c\/em\u003e is a stunning tale of one family's will to survive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomano, Tony:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eTony Romano is the author of \u003cem\u003eWhen the World Was Young\u003c\/em\u003e and a two-time winner of a PEN Syndicated Fiction Project Award.
