Life in that small village is too harsh, with scarce food and widespread hunger. Her mother, who remained in Italy with the family, must take care of her and five other children. There’s only one thing left to do: to leave. This is the story of an extraordinary woman who turned adversity into opportunity. Because destiny is never given, but always the result of the choices we make. Or, as she puts it, “to err is to learn to do better.” Anna is just a young girl when she writes to her father, who works in Germany, from the small town where she lives, Accettura.
