When the World Was Young

<p>In Chicago in the summer of 1957 Italian immigrants Angela Rosa and Agostino Peccatori are caught between worlds as they cling to old-country ways in an era of upending change. Angela Rosa must cope with the building tension--exacerbated by Agostino's wandering eye--of raising five U.S.-born children who are struggling to define themselves within a family rooted in old-world tradition. But the events of a single tragic evening are about to bring all of their lives to a sudden irreversible standstill--as a once resilient family begins to unravel under a crushing burden of guilt. A poignant testament to the power of sacrifice loyalty and unconditional love <em>When the World Was Young</em> is a stunning tale of one family's will to survive. </p>
