Kindhearted Enzo Voltolini has never found his soul mate. Now in his forties, this chef-owner of restaurant La Mia Famiglia is resigned to the idea that he'll never meet that special magical woman and have a family of his own. On a clear November morning he crosses paths with an enigmatic stranger and is struck by 'the thunderbolt', an attraction as inexplicable as it is overwhelming. In the weeks that follow, Enzo discovers that tasting the unknown and risking it all can be a sweet and dangerous journey. TRUE is a story of aloneness and family, of struggle and the triumph of love in everyday life. It could very well be the story of any of us. Nick Apuzzo was born and raised in the Bronx in New York City and now lives in the San Francisco Bay area of California. This is his fifth work of fiction.
