East Clifton Avenue is a riveting family saga crossing Italian and American cultures and generations. Nothing is more important to patriarch, Enzo Buonoforte, than family. But when he dies unexpectedly, the family is thrown into chaos. Old jealousies arise, sacrifices must be made, and disappointments ensue.
Can the Buonofortes weather the dramatic and heartbreaking aftermath to restore Enzo’s legacy of unconditional love and joy?
I am introducing you to the Buonofortes: A family similar to my mother’s family and the millions of other families who immigrated to this great country at the beginning of the last century. The Italian immigrants took their place among the other immigrants who came before them and who were already acclimated and settled in their new country. Similar to all the new immigrants, regardless of nationality, they all shared the same passion: to make a better life for themselves, their children, and generations to come. This is a fictional/non-fictional account of the Buonforte family. A family that came from Sicily, Italy in the early 1900’s to make a better life for the children and finally settle on East Clifton Avenue, New Jersey. Non-fictional events are inter-weaved with fictional events and people.
