She is bright and ambitious, and wants to chart her own path in life. Her mother dies in childbirth (child #7), leaving Angelina devastated. She works, for a while, in a cigar factory. She learns that the Mafia has a stranglehold on her community, women do not have the right to vote, and her strict, Sicilian father arranges a marriage to a man Angelina totally dislikes. Angelina makes a gutsy move to take back her destiny, but it comes with huge consequences.
Here is some really good writing. This story has laughter, love, tears and uncertainty. It is a very good snapshot of immigrant life a century ago. This is very much worth reading.
