Summary
"Lavinia Lavinia is haunted by the secret of why she was whisked away from Italy at four years old by her uncle Sal, and what happened to her parents. The Law of Omerta'-silence-prevails among her blood relatives, and now that Sal's gone back to Italy, she's living on her own in the San Francisco home where Sal raised her. Through the sacred and ancient ritual of washing clothes, she unveils the mystery of her life, rediscovering herself and finding a new family. While she unravels her own heritage and sense of self she discovers what she really holds to be true." --Back cover
