An Ithaca Affair Jess William Esposito

Jess W. Esposito's An Ithaca Affair is a testament to many different kinds of love. There's the passionate love between Jack and Allison, two Cornell graduates who marry and settle down in Long Island. There's the gentle, enduring love between Kate and Ben, Jack's parents, who have spent more than fifty years together. There's the everlasting love between the family and their two beautiful new additions, Jack and Allison's daughters, Liz and Gracie. There's even the love the family lavishes on their much-adored golden retriever, Rosie. But above all, this book is about the love the entire family feels for the town of Ithaca, New York. When the family leaves Long Island and moves back there for Allison's career, Jack feels like he's finally come home.

The town of Ithaca will see them through many hardships and heartbreaks. The family will have to lean on each other when one of their own begins suffering from a devastating illness. Will their love be enough to get them through the troubled times ahead? Esposito's ruminations on the simple power of family and community will touch even the hardest heart.
