Meet the Author Benedetta Lino - Discussion of her memoir Tears of My Angel, A Memoir of Love, Hope, and Lost Dreams

Come to the library to meet local author Benedetta Lino and discuss her memoir Tears of My Angel: A Memoir of Love, Hope and Lost Dreams.

"Heartwarming, yet bittersweet, Tears of My Angel recounts the years of struggle, pain, love, and hope that the Lino family endured. Benedetta recounts the early years of her daughter's life, of the numerous tests and hospital stays, until the diagnosis finally came in 1985. But from that moment on, things only became more difficult.

As Benedetta and her husband learned to care for their daughter in the comfort of their home, they found strength in each other and in the love they had for Laura. As the years passed, and the normal milestones of a child's life passed with-out being celebrated, the family instead celebrated the beauty of life, of Laura's courage, and of the power of love.

Tears of My Angel inspires, educates, and encourages, but most of all, it reaffirms the ability of hope and love to sustain us through our darkest days."
