Life's Journey: A Young Italian Peasant in 1899 Travels to South Philadelphia Searching for a Better Life and Love

By: Josephine B. Pasquarello


Based on the real-life experiences of the author's paternal grandmother, Life's Journey: A Young Italian Immigrant Peasant in 1899 Travels to South Philadelphia Searching for a Better Life and Love explores the emigration of a young woman, Geltrude Carmela DiLullo, from Italy to the United States at the turn of the twentieth century as part of an arranged marriage.


Along the way, with a lot of hard work and dedication, Geltrude-or Carmela, as she prefers to be called-overcomes enormous obstacles, from her solo journey across the seas to overcoming illness and betrayal; finds love in the life arranged for her; and begins a legacy for her family, which is flourishing still today.
