The Last Name

I Veri — Book Two · Coming

Cenza is three weeks out of Palermo, the two stones her mother pressed into her hand still in her keeping, watching a new country rise out of the Atlantic. Behind her, in Sicily, her mother is not finished. Thirty years of patience have brought I Veri to the edge of the reckoning — and the name at the top of everything is about to be spoken at last.

The Last Name carries the saga across the ocean. As Cenza builds a life and a fight of her own in immigrant New York — against a new country’s own breed of predators — her mother closes, at last, on the reckoning a generation in the making. Two women, two shores, one name still to be spoken.
