My fathers eruptions were quick, like bricks being thrown through a window.Denise Tolans memoir-in-essay traces the legacy of violence in an Italian American family, showing how abuse reverberates both in the body and mind of a family. The books first part, Blood is Not Water, lays out how the origins of violence can infect the roots of a family tree. The second part, Good Blood Doesnt Lie, shows what grows from those roots. Italian Blood is a raw, heartbreaking series of essays where everything is connected through literal and metaphorical blood. These essays offer a connection to anyone who suffered childhood shame, violence, or fear and provide reassurance that they are not alone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972232904992,"sku":"NEW1933880953","price":21.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Kad9bDe9L.jpg?v=1783797158","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/italian-blood-a-memoir-1933880953","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
