Rose's Ramblin's

Rose Marenco was born in McCloud, California, the daughter of Italian immigrants who maintained close ties with their country, their family and their traditions while creating successful lives in the US. Rose's stories of growing up in the 30's and 40's are woven with trips to Italy, resourceful relatives and descriptions of food to make your mouth water. Expressive and down-to-earth, Rose gives readers a window on the early history of several growing California cities, including San Jose.
