Mama's Teardrops from Heaven

How Could Mama Know When She First Met Her Future In-Laws What A Horrible Life She Would Endure? It Is True That The Gamils Rudely Rejected The Young Jewess And That Papa'S Fervor Cooled After That Meeting; But By That Time Mama Was Already Entangled In A Relentless Web That Would Ultimately Destroy Her. A Puzzling Network Of Religious Hatred It Became One That Haunted Me And My Seven Siblings Throughout Our Lives In Algeria Later In My Life In America And Finally Called Me Back To Castiglione To Seek Out The Weaver Of This Tapestry: My Father Sébastien Gamil.
