Marianne Leone's Ma is in many senses a larger-than-life character, one who
might be capable, even from the afterlife, of shattering expectations. Born
on a farm in Italy, Linda finds her way to the United States under dark
circumstances, having escaped a forced marriage to a much older man, and
marries a good Italian boy. She never has full command of English-
especially when questioned by authorities-and when she is suddenly widowed
with three young children, she has few options. To her daughter's horror
and misery, she becomes the school lunch lady.
