BOUND TO DREAM is the beautiful true story of the author's great-grandfather, an Italian immigrant who lived the American dream. When he arrived in this country, he became a bookbinder, helping others celebrate books and stories. This heartwarming treasure, though intended for young readers, trandscends generations and borders.
