During WWII, young Vincent Iezzi was at home with his grandmother in his Philadelphia neighborhood. Nonna always knew just what to say. Gifted with a native ability to tell stories, her solution for every one of Vincent's questions or problems was another elaborate story, accompanied by cups of coffee sweetened with war-rationed brown sugar and milk. And such stories they are! Angels and saints take on peasant charm, God paints peacocks' tails, and the humble good Joe always finishes first. Heroes, plots, and intrigue make this better than any comic book, for sure.
