Honest, heartfelt, and an incredibly compassionate family story. Most anyone could relate to or, even better, find bits of one's own childhood hidden between the always-clever and endlessly funny lines. Mama Leone reads like a big bowl of warm, juicy cherries on a hot summer's day, with an obligatory grasshopper hiding on the bottom of that very bowl, waiting to hop on top of your nose when you least expect it. A delight.
