Mama Foglio, her cantankerous husband, and ten rambunctious kids were poor. In fact, they were so poor that the poor people called them poor. Then one day the Lord burst into their lives, in the form of another, equally poor, equally large and tumultuous Italian–American family who stormed into their home and evangelized them mano a mano. Thus begins what has got to be the most hilarious, warm–hearted and frequently deeply–moving testimony ever given to the glory of the Lord.
