Raised in Milan, Italy, she moved to Los Angeles in 1992. She has been a storyteller since she learned to form complete sentences and became a professional writer at eighteen. Gloria Mattioni is the author of several books and a long-time magazine contributor. It takes an exhausting and lonely year for stubborn Claire to listen to her silent sister. Would her non-verbal sister want to go on struggling, damaged as she is, or end her suffering? Forsaking her career, Claire hardly leaves her sister’s side, refusing to give up the hope of healing. Claire is faced with a dilemma impossible to solve. They may be different, but have remained close despite the distance. Her sister, Ondina - now walking on the edge of death or a severely limited life - is wise, cautious, and sociable. Claire is a gritty decision-maker, a lone wolf who values freedom above all else. Claire Waters, an Italian mystery writer living in Los Angeles rushes to Italy after her older sister's devastating brain-hemorrhage, determined to restore her to health - or help her die with dignity. A story of fierce love and heartbreaking grief. Can anybody know what's best for others? What happens when loved ones are no longer able to speak for themselves and crucial decisions about their care need to be made by their relatives? A sister’s love versus a cruel fate. This event is free to attend and will be held in the courtyard at DIESEL, A Bookstore in Brentwood. Join us Tuesday September 20th at 6:30 pm as we welcome Gloria Mattioni to the store to discuss and sign California Sister.
