Emerging From Etna's Shadow: A Sicilian Family's Story of Faith and Hope

What secrets drive the Primavita family to flee Sicily for America? Their heart wrenching saga unfolds from the volcanic shadows of Mount Etna in the village of Pedara, where tradition and tragedy intertwine, to the bustling streets of Brooklyn. Facing loss, love, and the allure of a new world, they endure a perilous Atlantic voyage and confront the harsh realities of urban life: tenements, toil, and unyielding challenges, while their faith offers a beacon of hope amid hardship.

Across generations, the Primavitas grapple with Etna's lingering presence and their Sicilian heritage, forging unbreakable bonds tested by fate. Emerging From Etna's Shadow is more than a family story; it's a vivid reflection of immigration's upheavals, a celebration of enduring love and the resilient human spirit. This multi-generational epic is ideal for fans of historical fiction exploring themes of family, faith, and the immigrant experience that defined an era.

Evanthia's Gift

by Effie Kammenou

This Greek American family saga follows a multigenerational story of love, loyalty, and culture. An emotional novel about family bonds and the difficult pull between home and heritage.

In the year 1956, Anastacia Fotopoulos finds herself pregnant and betrayed, fleeing from a bad marriage. With the love and support of her dear friends Stavros and Soula Papadakis, Ana is able to face the challenges of single motherhood. Left with emotional wounds, she resists her growing affection for Alexandros Giannakos, an old acquaintance.

But his persistence and unconditional love for Ana and her child is eventually rewarded and his love is returned. In a misguided, but well-intentioned effort to protect the ones they love, both Ana and Alex keep secrets—ones that could threaten the delicate balance of their family.

The story continues in the 1970's as Dean and Demi Papadakis, and Sophia Giannakos attempt to negotiate between two cultures. Now Greek-American teenagers, Sophia and Dean, who have shared a special connection since childhood, become lovers. Sophia is shattered when Dean rebels against the pressure his father places on him to uphold his Greek heritage and hides his feelings for her.

When he pulls away from his family, culture and ultimately his love for her, Sophia is left with no choice but to find a life different from the one she'd hoped for. Evanthia's Gift is a multigenerational love story spanning fifty years and crossing two continents, chronicling the lives that unify two families.
