By Corinne Buiocchi. It’s 1973 in Boston. Jack Casavetti is reeling from a host of family issues. His beloved father, Vittorio, has succumbed to a brain tumor. Claudia, Jack’s eighteen-year-old, daughter, wants to date a man nine years her senior. His wife, Regina, is tempted by a promotion that will have her working full-time and earning more than he does. It’s more than his double-standard, my-way-or-the-highway sensibilities can stand. Jack and Regina have not yet come to terms with the stillborn birth of their only son, a decade earlier. Their precocious five-year-old, Juliana, is convinced the ghost of her grandfather is appearing to her. Finally, some distant cousins, who emigrated from Italy, want their son to marry Claudia. When an accident puts Juliana’s life at risk, Jack finally learns that “Divided We Fall.”
