Corrato, President/CEO of Sharon Bank with executive offices in Springfield Delaware County explains “Although the circumstances were not ideal, I actually enjoyed calling & speaking directly with many of our customers one-on-one.

Author, organized crime expert & columnist, George Anastasia, recently announced his daughter Michelle’s blog
ThePlatedPage.com “a place at the intersection of food, books and history.” Through
the years, cooking with her grandmother
Filomena
& mother Rosaria, she shares her love of “
food- eating, cooking,
reading about it & growing it.”
Michelle states “I’m a librarian, (Go Rutgers!)
amateur historian, mom of three, wife, avid reader & cook. Getting a recipe to come out just right, works almost the same way as reading a good book: both make something come to life & help me to feel better.” Try the Ham or Ricotta Pie recipes!
Author Lisa Scottoline has over 30 million copies of her books in print & published in over 35 countries. All pales in comparison to her greatest achievement, raising, as a single mom, her beautiful daughter, Francesca Serritella, an honors graduate of Harvard & New York Times bestselling author. Serritella, releasing her first novel, Ghosts of Harvard, says her mother, “... never pressured me to follow in her footsteps. The fact that I share her passion
for writing is a coincidence, that I have the courage to try, is all her.” A review by NY Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult, “Every time I thought I
knew where Ghosts of Harvard was heading, I turned out to be wrong. Part mystery, part ghost story, part psychological thriller, this novel is all entertainment.” Barnes & Noble, Marissa Gothie writes: “I could not put this novel down & read for 2 days straight only taking “breaks” to sleep & eat...” Mother & daughter co-author Inquirer column “Chick Wit” essays. Order the book at www.francescaserritella.com
