About this ebook
A Bit of Myself is a memoir that was written, first and foremost, for my children so that they may better understand their ancestors and the passion for life that helped us become an American family. Through this journal, I share not only my most cherished and intimate memories but also memories of great struggle and heartbreak, hoping to reveal to the reader "a bit of myself."
A Journey of Immigration - This memoir will take you on a journey from Bagnoli, Naples Italy, where I was born to immigrating to the US in search of the American Dream. You will walk the streets of the burning South Bronx, where I started my Americanization to my final destination of Westchester NY. Each chapter is filled with personal thoughts, poems and family recipe so that the reader may better understand the author and the struggle to becoming an American. Let's hold hands and fly into the arms of Lady Liberty. Always Live with passion. Filomena Abys-Smith The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvTbtEEBzTY
