- 2nd Edition Giuseppe’s Saga is a romance, with a duel, heartbreak, death, a brutal beating, adultery, personal doubts, spiritual guidance, and a donkey that knows the way home. This saga begins in the 1890s, recounting a heartwarming fictionalized biography based on true events. Paul, son of Giuseppe, spent two decades crafting the initial treatment to chronicle this incredible story. As it unfolds through the perspectives of three main characters, their fates become intertwined with those of twelve others. Each immigrant has their own unique story of hardship as they enter the United States, and we witness the strict immigration inspections and means testing they must endure. The challenges faced by immigrants are highlighted, with noticeable differences between first-class, second-class, and the unbearable steerage-class experiences. Starting with a short-lived passion between Giuseppe and a stunning young woman named Virginia in Sicily. However, their happiness is cut short when conflict with Virginia's boyfriend, Carlo, a budding Mafia enforcer, compels Giuseppe to flee to America… evading any consequences from the dangerous underworld. His determination leads him and his two siblings first to Philadelphia and eventually to Cleveland where he strives for success. After marrying Virginia, Carlo is convicted of adultery and sentenced to ten years of hard labor. When he dies in prison, the Mafia seizes control of their business and evicts Virginia and her family. Then she accompanies Father Marco on his journey to the United States, Virginia agrees to a ten-year agreement to work as an indentured servant cooking for his church. The compelling ending has moved readers to tears.
