Stale Roses

Gina Cavalerio is a lucky little girl! She has not one, but two best friends - The Twins! Follow her journey from her culturally pure Italian beginnings, through childhood, adolescence and beyond to the lessons of expansion and understanding offered to her unconditionally by the twins and their wonderful mother. This is a tale about love and loss and how transformation occurs in the face of true friendship, understanding and belonging.

Stale Roses is a wonderful, warm saga of a little girl growing up in a first generation Italian family and of the strong cultural beliefs that impact her life. Were it not for her two best friends, who have the courage to teach her about forgiveness and the willingness to see beyond her selfish self-protection, she would not have been able to grow past the predicaments she creates for herself in love and in life. This is a story about women, friendships, betrayal and forgiveness. A sweet voyage about life and love!
