Stay with Me, Lella (Prose) - Tapa blanda

Johnny and Carla DiGiacomo are the hub of a big, extended, in many ways, conventional Italian American family. But a less than conventional choice made early in their marriage - to take in the orphaned daughter of distant relations - will test their notions of love and loyalty, as well as the sexual boundaries within which families exist.
Told with earthy humor, Stay With Me, Lella is about the arrangement and rearrangements Italian Americans coped with in the years after World War II, as they began to make their way into the mainstream.
