Synopsis

After three decades of silence, this daughter of traditional Italian-American stock tells the story of her sixteen-year love story with the crown prince of the Bruno family of Philadelphia. They lived just doors apart but this is no Romeo and Juliet story. Their families respected and loved one another; their mothers were close friends -- this is South Philadelphia, a place where Italian-Americans still live in true kinship. After years away, Rosina Rucci has come home to tell the story about the love of her life, her very best friend. Her beloved led two lives -- one was fast, hard and filled with treachery, but the other was about and for Rosina. 6000 Days Of Us is a heartbreaking tale of two young people joined in a profound, immortal love but divided by the critical and devastating choices they each had to make.

About this title

About the Author:

Rosina Rucci was born and raised in South Philadelphia. A graduate degree in Journalism from that city’s Temple University led to work in Rome, Italy where she served as Promotions Manager for the children’s channel of the ORBIT Satellite Television and Radio Network. An extraordinary twelve years of life in Rome gave her knowledge of the city, fluency in the Italian language, and her adored son Luca who was born there in 1997. Though South Philadelphia is her beloved birthplace, Italy is her true home and though leaving it in 2003 was difficult, she was thrilled at the chance to work alongside her brother, renowned fashion designer, Ralph Rucci of New York City, as Director of Communications. She has since returned to South Philadelphia, where she currently resides, where her son attends school and where this deeply personal story was born.
