Lessons in Lasagna

Layering the good with the bad; the author, Luann Puglisi Kenmore has taken her chaotic life added her own ingredients creating rituals and recipes to simmer her experiences. Luann has held tight to the promise a meal and a well told story has healing properties as well as the ability to feed the soul. The daughter of a Mafia bad guy, she has connected those sometimes horrifying experiences; losing her father to an organization that once made him powerful, physical trials, a life filled with limousines, cars and fancy clothes, to a quiet life as a wife and mommy. "Writing and cooking have been my scaffolding; savoring the ingredients I've been dealt, turning them into meals instead of hazardous waste has freed me of traumatic alternatives."
