Piera's Pilgrimage Lisa Stamidis

Based on a true story, this novel centers around one woman's experiences with love and loss. Piera grew up with a nurturing mother and an inexplicably abusive father. In her mid-twenties, she meets the love of her life while working as a waitress in New Haven. No one could predict that falling so deeply in love would somehow result in Piera fighting for her life in a country on the other side of the world. This is the gripping story of one woman's experiences with love, heartbreak, motherhood, and her attempts to escape a life of isolation and assault.
