Join us at the AICC on Thursday, July 11 for an author presentation and book signing with Kathy Curto featuring Not for Nothing: Glimpes into a Jersey Girlhood. "In this tense and tender memoir, Curto dishes up her family's crazy moody love like rich red Italian gravy. Sometimes platters of it smash against the wall, sometimes warm bowls are savored on a lap. Too often, the plate is empty - with devastating consequences. But the reader feasts...Mangia Bene!" -Irene O'Garden, Off-Broadway playwright Curto's book is a snapshot of an Italian American girlhood in Jersey: the trials and the tribulations. I devoured this book in one sitting. -Megan (AICC)
