Read the excerpt about the Sicurella family from "Island of Hope, Island of Tears."Pietro and Rosa Sicurella lived with their nine children in Adrano, Sicily prior to coming to the United States.

When Giuseppe died in 1916, the Sicurella siblings living in New York decided not to return to Sicily--the rest of the family joined them after World War I.
