In Sylvia Rauzi McElroy's own words:

"A biography of my father's life. Most of it taken from a tape recording of him telling his story shortly before he died. I did this taping to preserve the memory of his powerful life which was so amazingly interesting and so very good. Some of his memories are heart-warming and some are heart-wrenching; some are so funny, while others are quite intriguing.

The first chapter tells of the history and life in his hometown, Cloz (Val di Non), Trento, Italia. The remainder takes you from his young years (10 years old) to his death.

Some of his life's stories include: amateur acting--being screen tested for the movies, hijacking a train in Russia, starvation and other war stories, injustice he endured at a teenager that affected his whole life and gave him great compassion for young people, standing up to Mafia thugs, a shoot-out with robbers, prohibition stories, his work for the Church, the uproar over his marriage, snubbing Mussolini etc. I just picked some topics at random. There is so very, very much more. Of course, it also includes his role as husband, father and worker.

The book is being received unanimously as a book people can't put down. Some have even read it in one sitting because they couldn't stop reading. They tell me they cry and they laugh. I am so very grateful!!"
