Being born out-of- wedlock in pre WWII, religiously conservative Italy, spurned by her maternal grandmother, and sent to an orphanage, she discovers her biological father at thirteen. Vanna, constrained by a domineering mother and a manipulative father, struggles through the 1950s. Her quest for freedom and happiness drives her into an abusive marriage to Edgar, a Venezuelan engineer. However, the marriage ends in a bitter divorce. Sustained by her indomitable spirit, straightforward personality, and resourcefulness, Vanna, a single mother of five, restart her life by becoming a successful businesswoman and the pillar of the community. Greedy business associates and corrupt city officials, however, combine to force her to start a new chapter in her peripatetic life. This poignant story tells of the journey of a tenacious survivor, Vanna, through three continents, from pre WWII Italy to the Americas. Her indomitable spirit proves you can win against all odd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 380\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 21, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47244958957817,"sku":"9781449063634","price":39.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/bFFvL21JbGJrUU5Qa0FTUG1FdnZCUT09.webp?v=1768595701","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/soft-as-iron-disparaged-creation-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
