My Three Families in Bloomington, MN

Author John F. Reda takes you on a personal journey through the eight decades of his life. Beginning with his family's emigration from Italy to the United States in the 1930s, Reda describes his three families: the large group of Italian-Americans he grew up amongst; his wife Lorraine and their children, spouses, and grandchildren; and the wonderful group of friends that John and Lorraine grew close to over the course of nearly sixty years of marriage. "My Three Families" traces the trials and tribulations as well as the triumphs, joys, and passions of one ordinary man's life, proving along the way that no one's life is ordinary. This is a story about hard work and determination, and about the bonds of strength and love that families can provide.
