Renata, an Italian acupuncturist in Minneapolis, falls madly in love with a charismatic actor. Once married, she discovers his passion is not focused on her alone. With her marriage and her small acupuncture clinic in crisis, she is called to her father's deathbed in Milan. There Renata again faces the slights she suffered in childhood as the daughter of an immigrant from Naples. Gripped by grief and anxiety over her future, she discovers that her father, a survivor of WWII, believed until the end in risk-taking as a life-affirming necessity. With newfound courage, Renata stumbles into the lure of an old love and the magic of a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Regal House Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646033317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210","brand":"Rosanna Staffa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42769772937397,"sku":"9781646033317","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_87edfb63-16b7-44b5-abcc-9f12bf72a154.jpg?v=1678837440","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-war-ends-at-four-9781646033317","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
