An affirmative and inspirational, early 20th Century love story about an immigrant shepherd from a small village in the rugged mountains of Greece's Peloponnesian Peninsula and the lovely, first generation daughter of Polish immigrants born in Pennsylvania coal country. This book chronicles their humble births, the challenges of their youths, their disparate religious upbringings and, eventually, the extraordinary family hardships that brought them together in a marriage that flourished for nearly fifty years. This historical biography about the author's parents and family describes the unlikely story of how this pioneering interfaith couple - one a Greek Orthodox and the other a Roman Catholic - overcame incredible odds to include strong opposition to their marriage. This heartwarming actual memoir affirms the overarching power of love and how it and a virtuous dedication to family values underpinned their American Success Story.
