Through the eyes of Joe Pfeiler, the American-born grandson of Italian immigrants, Half Italian (and then some) recounts stories of immigrant ways merging with American life. Many are funny, some are sad.


Joe’s grandmother never saw a banana, mustard, or a fruit pie until adult age during her migration from Italy to California, and threw them all out the window of her train because she thought they were spoiled. How many kids witness their grandmother flush her dentures down the toilet, later retrieved from a septic tank? The humor is…unique.
 

Half Italian (and then some) is a book about family, for anyone who’s ever had a family. It’s for anyone who’s ever been a kid or had kids. It’s for parents and grandparents.
