Forbidden
By Natala Orobello

What happens when two young people are forbidden a love that cannot be denied?

Play my sweet guitar. Play as I remember the days of my youth. Play guitar play as I remember those early mornings, envisioning you now, next to the Nativity scene of baby Jesus with your friends as you played and sang. And, you, my darling, placed your loving eyes, your heart and your affection on me. I did not return your glances. Now, I am weeping.
Diary of Fortunata Ricciardi

So began the love story of Guiseppi and Fortunata as told by diary entries and letters secreted away and cherished through a lifetime.

A blue box, a red ribbon and a love so strong it could not be denied weave a compelling story of faith and perseverance.
