« We met when we were 17... and this is our story. » When Carina left Sicily for Seattle, she thought she'd lost everything: her bearings, her dreams, her roots. But she never expected to meet Maya. Between two worlds, two languages and two hearts beating out of sync, It Never Ends tells the story of friendship, uprooting and the invisible link that sometimes becomes everything. What if growing up meant learning to love differently? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Volume 1: « When I was 17, I met her. And nothing was ever the same. » At just seventeen, Carina DeLuca leaves her native Catania to follow her parents and younger brother to the United States, forced by the American dream her parents had been cherishing for years. Winners of the green card lottery, they settled in Seattle, a gray, foreign city far from the Sicilian sun and Carina's emotional bearings. She leaves behind her friends, her lover and, above all, her cousin Graziella, a true sister at heart. In this new life, Carina tries to find meaning and stability, even as everything eludes her: her future in medicine, her plans, her sense of belonging. Between vibrant memories of Catania and clumsy attempts to anchor herself in her new reality, Carina vacillates, hesitates and observes the world around her with lucidity and melancholy. It Never Ends is an intimate account of the blurred zone between adolescence and adulthood, between departure and arrival, between what is lost and what is hoped for.
