The Glass Pedestal

Sometimes we place those we greatly admire high upon a pedestal-a position from which humanity will and must eventually fall, shattering the unreal expectations of friends and loved ones. However, the Master Creator continually and skillfully takes the broken pieces of our lives and gracefully repairs them so we can become brand new. Silvia Petretti, author of Mark N. Greene, My James Dean, once again, allows the reader to share in her family’s romances, dreams, successes, heartbreak, laughter, and regrettable tragedies. Through the use of fictional characters, Silvia Petretti weaves the so true to life tales of an Italian family whose lives span three generations. These stories leave the reader amazed by the graphic events, saddened by the personal losses, enlightened by the personal experiences, and grateful for the biographical journey.
