This is the tragic tale of a young man, the story of my father Francesco Cheech Caruso and his native country of Sicily. As the youngest of seven sons born to Pasqualina and Joseph Caruso of Caltagirone Sicily, the burden of managing the family business and farm fell to him over the protest of his older brothers. The chain of events that led him as a young man to leave all he knew to seek a new life in a country that he knew nothing about are compelling and life altering. The decision he made would always be regretted and never be reversed. He could never go home. No one can.
