From Alps to Cascades Mountain Gear

The story of a family living for hundreds of years in a small village in the Italian Alps before journeying to the New World to live in a small town in the Washington Cascades is brought to life through the use of family memoirs and interviews. This is a truly American story, comparable to the Mayflower.

"Fascinating and touching. The book had lots of revelations for me," remarked Rhonda Peterson, a researcher, writer, and editor.

Wendy's 'From the Alps to the Cascades' is not just another immigration tale, it is a tale of an intimately human experience that merges the best aspects of both a novel and an essay. It is a journey through the lives of the generation that made America, and should be embraced as a building block of our lives," said Mario Agostini, Ph.D.

The family history book is described as a masterpiece, intertwining remarkable and interesting stories of her ancestors and the places they came from and settled in, by Daniel Quillen, author of Quillen''s Genealogy Essentials series.
