The Americanization of My Family
This book is dedicated to the memory of Ralph Novelli, a pioneer in our modern society. After his arrival in the USA with his family, he seized the opportunities for success this land offered, achieving the American dream. Under his guidance, his wife became a high school teacher, his son graduated from Purdue University, he contributed to the development of the company for which he worked, and he bought a dream home for his family on fifteen acres of land with a swimming pool. This dream was not easy to realize, as the reader will see from the various events described. Yet, with faith in the greatness of America, Ralph Novelli and his family reached their goals.
