Local Author's Book Sales to Support Soldiers' Angels

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 1, 2008 -- BOCA RATON, Florida—In her first book, Water Signs: A Story of Love and Renewal, Daria DiGiovanni creates a tale of love and personal growth. This novel intertwines a love story with the soul’s sometimes painful but always necessary struggle for fulfillment and realization. While she highlights the themes of unwavering faith and the power of love, Ms. DiGiovanni infuses the book with a blend of humor, drama and intrigue that celebrates Philadelphia, South Jersey and South Florida culture.

“I spent my early years in the Philadelphia area where the first half of this book is set, so it was an exercise in nostalgia and loads of fun to write,” says Ms. DiGiovanni. “I tried to capture Philly’s unique culture and traditions by incorporating my own experiences as a devoted Philadelphia Eagles fan and a summertime vacationer at the Jersey Shore. A simultaneously uplifting and challenging journey of the heart, my book chronicles a pivotal period in my own personal development and represents the culmination of a lifelong goal. It’s also the first of many novels I plan to write as an ultimate tribute to faith, family and country.”
Water Signs is already receiving rave reviews from a variety of critics, one of whom states, “Daria touches the heart of everyone who believes in second-chances and the unbreakable bonds of love, faith and family. She has an uncanny ability to mesmerize the reader with sympathetic characters who face every hardship with grit and determination.”

One of Ms. DiGiovanni’s favorite causes is Soldiers’ Angels, an organization that provides care packages for the military overseas. The group is considering featuring Water Signs as an upcoming Book of the Month with a percentage of the sales going to Soldiers’ Angeles in support of their work with the wounded.
