Frances Collato, teacher, reading consultant, educational coordinator, middle school principal and college dean, among her other professional accomplishments, has written a book steeped in Sephardic and Italian culture, a family saga spanning 70 years, telling the story of four immigrant families that settle on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the early 1900’s. Their lives become intertwined when American born super athlete Joey Collato meets Lena Levy in 1932. This is Fran’s family story.
