    Tembi Lockes depiction of Cancer and the struggles going between oncology and other departments was soooooo true, confusing and no one would tell you what's up kind of like they don't want to be responsible or accountable. So sad but so true....not till you are in palliative care doing yr best to make yr loved onecomfortable! Cried and was amazed to see my story is actually yrs too. Thank you x

    What a remarkable story. Love the Sicilian and African American romance journey. I love how his family came to embrace her and pass down sacred traditional food recipes. They should make this a movie!

    It is a fantastic book. I am listening the audio book that Ms Locke narrates herself. It is such a tragic and romantic story.

    I just watched this on Netflix, what a beautiful and heart breaking story!
    I related very much being from a Sicilian immigrant family. Being American and raised by a Sicilian mother and spending so much time in Sicily with my relatives, I can understand the clash of cultures but at the end it's love and family that triumphs.

    What a beautiful book; I just finished it and I loved it; what a wonderful love story and how sad her loss has been. I love the way she's so candid about her life and takes us along with all the changes and things she's been through. I hope that she's still going back to Sicily every summer to visit Nonna and the Zoela is going there too. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. (from Sandi)
