Clelia G. Pergola Bücher

Clelia Pergola has come to understand that a strong value system is essential for a fulfilling life, with advocacy, authenticity, and legacy guiding her actions. While these principles were always part of her upbringing within a close-knit family, they became more intentional after the death of her beloved Nonna Lidia.

This memoir serves as a beacon of hope, emphasizing the importance of family, service, and compassion, especially in turbulent times. It reminds us that heartaches can lead to beauty and that the love we share shapes our identities. Clelia's story is a testament to resilience and the enduring power of simple values.
