O knihe

Hatgiannis
draws a verbal picture of life in a bygone era . . . corner candy stores,
horse-drawn ice cream wagons, little red tricycles and territorial fights with
the neighborhood "kids." She describes
her visit to Greece
as a six-year-old and her reluctance to admit having a good time. She was quite determined to make "momma"
sorry she ever took her away from "daddy."
Hatgiannis describes moments of conflict
growing up when told that "nice Greek girls don't" . . . go to dances, get
valentines, go out with boys and how she tries to prove that "yes, they do!"

She re-creates scenes from her
early childhood and the metamorphosis that takes place when she becomes the
sole wage earner and caretaker of her mother.
Her acquaintance with Telly Savalas is a fun read as she shares the excitement
generated by this memorable moment in the life of a 'little Greek girl" grown
up.

Hatgiannis
has re-created the past in authentic stories that evoke both tears and
laughter. Her creative side depicts her
twin brother's thoughts in the womb and her mother's ascent to Heaven . . . Hatgiannis writes from the heart as she shares stories from
the life of a "little Greek girl."
