The Marchesi Girl

By Christopher Calcara

Mia Marchesi was raised by her dutiful Catholic Italian parents to be the perfect daughter, wife and mother. When she's diagnosed with an affective disorder during her first imperfect marriage, her life and the lives of her loved ones are upended, none more so than her younger brother, who's left with the task of committing Mia to a psychiatric hospital when all other attempts to help fail.

Nobody, with the possible exception of Mia Marchesi herself and her inexplicable facility to intuit impending life and death in those closest to her, could foresee the experiences that await this dysfunctional family over the next four decades.

This is the story you get when you mix an extraordinary woman, her gay brother, and tough love - the toughest kind of love there is.
