Grab some coffee, and enjoy!

This is a book for a rainy afternoon. It takes you to a warm place that makes you want to curl up in your favorite spot with your favorite warm beverage and enjoy! The book doesn't always refer to the weather, but as you read you see the stories unfolding in a sunny setting. I enjoyed the author's use of regional dialects. It brings color to the character's that star in her childhood memories. I felt like I was in New York during WWII and I could almost smell the Pasta on the stove. Reading this book took me back to a time when I was a child and I loved listening to the adults talk. I found it to be like comfort food! It made me think of my parents and all the good food and conversation that made up my world when I was young. If you want a book that has Humor, surprise, and some bitter sweet memories, then this is a book for you to add to your collection. It is a book you will find yourself reading again and again just for the shear pleasure of losing yourself in MS.Schore's engaging family memories.

The beauty of innocence.

Dee Schore has produced a delightful and magical tale of the joys of imagination and innocence. The child in this story is at once every child and no child ever known. I couldn't help but marvel at her resilience and coping skills as a child from a multi ethnic family from the heart of the melting pot that is America. How many times during my reading did I wish to reach out and pluck young Dee and make her my own? I highly recommend Spirito Slendido as a must read for anyone who has ever imagined or dreamed of princes or angels or anything beyond the confines of their mother's apron strings. I trust there will be more from Ms. Schore. Terence J. McManus Waxahachie, Texas
