ANOTHER ANGEL...




I am deeply saddened by the loss of my 
dear friend and cousin Dianne Vigorito. 
I am fortunate to have had the pleasure of 
working with Dianne on Forty Years In A Day 
and sharing in this extraordinary journey with her. 
Her warmth and friendship will be missed. 
I know heaven has been blessed with another angel.

New Review from BookStopCorner..."the book is devastatingly beautiful"

BookStopCorner

"A thought-provoking family saga set in New York in the

1900s, which is so good that it will pull you into its deepest

core of pain, love and grief!


In a nutshell, I would like to say the plot is exceptionally

fantastic, and the authors not only take us back in time and

era, but also take us to our favorite city in the world-New

York-and they have captured New York very vividly with their

exquisite words and visual way of story-telling!"
