They spent five unforgettable months in postwar Italy. They were joyous yet filled with uncertainty as her parents struggled to reconcile the country they once knew with the one they found. The devastation of war, and the devaluation of the lira, forced them to make the heart-wrenching decision to return to America. They left Italy on December 1, 1948, and went back to their home in Westchester, New York. Those five short months would change the course of Marcella's life forever, and in American Destiny - with the help of her niece - she recalls how her family navigated the journey along with its painful decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 348\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 07, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47558679494909,"sku":"9798765267127","price":30.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/ZkyKE6g-IB9798765267127.webp?v=1779389763","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/american-destiny-a-true-story-of-family-roots-and-the-journey-between-two-worlds-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
