As a young, Italian-immigrant girl, (decades before the #metoo movement) Laurina struggles with the same question present-day survivors must face. Remain quiet or shatter the silence? As an older woman, Laurina is faced with the same difficult question, but this time it's not her voice that must be heard. "Laurina" is an inspiring story of courage and how one little girl's strength can ripple through generations. The story unfolds against a backdrop of mixed cultures and religions-- immigrants determined to find happiness and success in America.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div></div><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr"><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr"><br></div>Lora Lee Ecobelli </div><div dir="ltr"><div>www.Bluehorserepertory.com</div></div></body></html>
