      Synopsis

      Sonny DiBari is an Italian immigrant who jumps ship to start life in a new country. Life is food on the table and working to provide it. Gussie believes children should support the family in any way she decides. Her kids don't feel the same way. It is all she can do to manage the chaos. Sonnyboy is awaiting the trial date determining the course of his life. Vinny will do what is needed to help the family, including running to the Mafia. Valencia lives life her way or no way. Anna marries a man who hates her family. Debra's passion is food. Samantha's mistake leads to a terrible secret. Rosa works for the family. She wants out, but won't make the same mistake her older sisters made. Life in the DiBari family is not what it should be, but it can never be anything more than it is.

      An insightful tale of an Italian-American Experience!by Anonymous

      July 11, 2009: Bread Upon the Water is a remarkable account of the Italian-American experience in the vein of such literary classics as Jerre Mangione's Mount Allegro and Mario Puzo's Fortunate Pilgrim. It is an insightful rendering of family life steeped in present-day Italian-American culture. Mr. Fasone's characterizations are well drawn, enticing varied emotional reactions from the reader. The novel is ultimately a heartfelt and human depiction of an Italian-American family.

      I Also Recommend: Fortunate Pilgrim, Mount Allegro, A Chase After Wind.
