Raised in the hills of Tuscany in the late 1880s, Teopista Marchi Rugani gave birth to three children by three different men -- two were brothers and the third was her husband. Juggling all these men, she emigrated to Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the copper mining era ad found life to be just as dramatic in America as it had been in Italy. Based on the memoirs of Dr. Frank C. Rugani, this book recreates the story of his charismatic grandmother. While the Rugani men worked as struggling tenant farmers in Italy, exploited mining tremors in the Copper Country, and nervous suppliers to rural Michigan bootleggers during Prohibition, Teopista did whatever was required to hold the family together.
