In the wake of her parents’ sudden death, Pia Marzano moves to New York City to live with her extravagant Italian family—becoming entangled in the world of age-old vendettas, illegal olive-oil trafficking, million-dollar engagement parties, and the resurgent Sicilian mafia. At the forefront of it all is Pia’s uncle, Savino Vitelli—the only person who understands Pia’s desire to protect her siblings, and the last person she can trust. With her unhinged cousin Massimo and the pretentiously academic Tonio at her side, Pia plots to take down the family business and end decades of tradition, obsession, and bloodshed.

Abigail C. Edwards grew up in North Florida. When not writing, she can usually be found baking sourdough, making pasta, and watching Gilmore Girls. She wrote a book loosely inspired by her family’s history in the Sicilian mafia and her inexplicable obsession with the olive oil industry, and her mom really enjoyed it.
