Author event with Catherine Gigante-Brown In-Person
Join us at Rosendale Library to celebrate the release of Immigrants Hearts, a timeless vintage love story that stretches across more than 40 years. Antonio and Luisa are two lonely garment industry workers who meet by chance in the wilds of 1920s Brooklyn. These gentle souls build a life together, chasing dreams, weathering loss, finding refuge in the beauty of opera, books and each other. It's also about community and working together in hard times.
