Fortuna Finds A Family

Fortuna Finds a Family is a prequel to the suspenseful award-winning Italian fable, Mario and The Stones.

Long ago in a bustling Italian city, an eager black kitten sets out on the adventure of a lifetime to find "la famiglia perfetta," the perfect family. She is naive and determined. She has no idea she will have to fight for her survival if she is going to complete her quest.

Told through Fortuna's overly curious perspective, Fortuna Finds a Family is a tale of perseverance and hope that will fill your eyes with tears and your heart with joy. Vieni, come, and join Fortuna on her adventure; you'll even learn a little Italian language along the way.

Today, he lives a spoiled life in America with the author and her family. He is internationally known as an Italian Superhero Cat.
