About the book:
RELATIVE STRANGERS: SCALABRINIANS MEET WALDENSIANS IN CHICAGO
Frank Cicero’s four Italian grandparents arrived in Chicago in 1904. They lived for thirty years less than two blocks apart in one of Chicago’s largest Italian neighborhoods. His father’s family were Sicilian Catholics, who worshipped at the Scalabrinian staffed Santa Maria Addolorata Roman Catholic Church. His mother’s parents were Waldensians from Piedmont, Protestants who promptly joined the First Italian Presbyterian Church of Chicago. Their paths never crossed until the author’s parents met, fell in love, and wed secretly over the opposition of both families. The author and his siblings were raised in the faith of the longest-surviving Protestant reform church as well as in the unique warmth of their Sicilian Catholic relations.
