Dominic Mangini wanted what all 8-year-old boys want-time to laugh and play, loving parents, and enough food on the table. But in war-ravaged Sicily, food was scarce, and his parents were as scarred as the land. His father said they must move to America so they could start over and be a family once again.

Isn't one sufficient?),...
