Description:
Safe in Your Head is an epic story about war and love. It's about the ambitions that haunt us through decades as the ghosts of our ancestors thrive in our dreams, memories, and our most cherished hopes. Ever since he was a boy, Vittorio wanted to live in America. He remembers cases of chocolate and peanut butter dropping in parachutes from the sky. He remembers American military camps ringing with rock and roll. Then in 1978, as an adult and father of three, Vittorio moves his family to New York to escape the chaos that is Italy under the terrorism of the Red Brigades. But his mother in-law, Liliana, will have to wrestle with the most devastating loss since the death of her husband, Giorgio, who was a resistance fighter. Liliana must face again a wrenching loss so many decades after Giorgio's death when Vittorio takes her daughter and her grand-children to America. The family will all try to adapt to their new lives, honoring the past through recipes, and their belief in magic and good luck. And still they are haunted by the one decision that Giorgio took upon himself so long ago.. [Contains original cooking recipes and ancient good luck charms.]
