MEADVILLE, Pa., Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Pasta, Meatballs, and Apple Pie: Our Son John, A Love Story": a touching exploration into the life of a family where one will see the love of parents to their children—may it be their own or not—through a mother's voice. "Pasta, Meatballs, and Apple Pie: Our Son John, A Love Story" is the creation of published author Evelyn Fraterrigo Artale, a graduate of the Arista Honor Society at Evander Childs High School and received both the Italian and French awards. She held various office jobs and worked several years as a home health aide. She was active in church ministries such as preparing children for receiving Holy Communion, as a leader of a prayer group, and various other groups involving spiritual growth and development.
Artale shares, "Along with raising a child who has learning disabilities comes many challenges which have to be dealt with and decisions which have to be made. They are not always easy. This book tells the story about a little boy born in Italy who was adopted by a couple living in New Jersey, USA.
"Upon examination by a doctor, who was a pediatric neurologist, the couple was informed that the child was neurologically impaired, would never be normal, and would cause them to live a very difficult life. He advised them to return the child. The news was unexpected, shocking, and cause for concern. How would it affect their lives? Would they be able to handle it? This child was their son whom they loved dearly. Returning him was not an option. Instead they decided to do whatever they could to help him to learn, to be happy, and to do what was best for him.
"The journey began, a journey which took them to places they never could've imagined. Many doctors, many tests, many different schools, each having an impact on their lives. The couple knew, however, that God had a reason for bringing that little boy into their lives and that no matter what the future held, love, together with hope, faith, and trust in God would get them through it."
