Il Prato (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218291068)

Following an ethnic slur from a co-worker, Joe flees to control his temper only to notice the ramshackle village that has befouled Il Prato, the beautiful meadow pioneered by his grandfather. Although others of different ethnicities followed Carlo there to develop fine farms, this village grew helter-skelter at the hands of questionable people. It denigrates the meadow, including Grandfather's meticulous farm. That's what caused the loss of respect for his family! Can Joe save the meadow-and Grandfather's reputation?

Peek Inside:

"'Bella! bella!' Carlo breathed as he took stock of the beautiful scene before him. After his grueling journey, he at last saw a wide prairie spreading before him that looked exactly suitable. 'Un prato bello.'"
