Sarah Glasser has always been a good girl, striving for perfection in her life with husband, Adam, and their sons. A good mother: she volunteers at the school.

When Adam comes home late from a business meeting, drunk and agitated, asking for a divorce, Sarah is shaken by thoughts of an unknown life altered from the one she has cultivated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Nine Lives of Tito d\u2019Amelia <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/u><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Ettore Farrattini Pojani<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

October 11, 2024<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the first English-language version of an award-winning Italian novel, The Nine Lives of Tito d’Amelia<\/em>. The book is a love story about a cat, a family, and an Italian town. Mixing fiction with fact, Nine Lives<\/em> recounts the history of the town of Amelia, Italy, at nine points in its existence. In fact, Amelia is considered the first organized city of central Italy, and is four centuries older than Rome. The author, Ettore Farrattini Pojani, uses the multiple lives of a cat named Tito as the way to span the ages. (The author is the heir of the Farrattini noble family, which stretches back into Umbrian history, and whose family palazzo<\/em> is in Amelia, north of Rome.) Tito’s first life occurs in pre-historic Umbria, and his ninth is in the future. Tito’s mission throughout all nine of his lives is to help the town and the family to succeed. Originally published in Italy in 2022, this first English-language version is being published by Bayou City Press in Houston, Texas, and includes additional drawings, maps, lists of characters, a listing of foreign words and special terms, and notes on sources.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll share with you the road map for navigating the maze of complex grief compounded by violence. The courts, medical examiners, probation, and parole systems are the potholes you may encounter along the way. The families who share your experience, however, are the most caring, loving, and compassionate people in the world–not despite their journey, but because of it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
