Marisa ParkerHi, I'm Marisa Parker. My mamma, Maria (Iucci) Martore and papa, Eugenio Piergiovanni, have led such an amazing life that I had to write their story. The first book, GOODBYE To Italia - a timid Italian girl; a young soldier; a love story - is about teir diverse experiences in Italy and Africa in WWII. I'm now writing their second book (2017) after they married and went to live in Africa. The story will be related personally from my mum's perspective, as she recalls it. Currently, my husband and I live in the hills behind the Gold Coast in Australia. We have two grown-up daughters who were born in Zimbabwe, Africa - where I was also born. Although it was called Rhodesia back in the day! We left Africa in 2000 and went to live in New Zealand for six years before moving to Australia which is now our home. Since moving here, I've undertaken study as a mature-age student whilst working full-time. It's been a tough journey but oh, so worth it. Read More Read Less
