Synopsis
This book is an extremely hoest account of all Elda went through, both good and bad, and how these experiences shaped her into a woman who "finally learned to savor the small daily miracles of love, joy, forgiveness, appreciation and gratitude." "...an egnaging personal story, told with such honesty and depth that it illuminates universal themes of aspiration, compassion, dignity, and hope. Jim Rawls, Reviews Editor for California History, the magazine of the California Historical Society

She passed away in January 2005, a 45-year cancer survivor who died of old age.Patricia Lynn Henley earned her master's degree in journalism from Stanford University then spent 10 years as a reporter and news editor for a twice-weekly community paper in California's Sonoma Valley. She is now a freelance writer and editor.
From the Inside Flap
Meet Elda Del Bino Willitts, whose fascinating life and the lessons she has learned unfold in "The Sugar's at the Bottom of the Cup." Starting in rural Italy with her family's 1916 move to a San Francisco filled with gas streetlights and horse-drawn wagons, Elda's tale covers most of the twentieth century and the start of the twenty-first.Told as a young girl that "All the sugar's at the bottom of the cup," Elda used that phrase to sustain herself during childhood poverty, family heartaches, the Great Depression, World War II, her own battle with cancer and more -- and to do it with a loving, upbeat attitude.
