All rightsreserved. 1The Princess Who Lived in a FortOnce upon a time, by a lakeside in the woods, therelived a beautiful little girl with dark wavy curls, rosy round cheeks, and a heart so big, a soul sobright, that her energy was boundless morning, noon, and night. My favorite fairy tale is actuallythe reality of my motherâ€s childhood. Iâ€ve spent my life in pursuit of it, because the picturesin my head of how things once were are the most beautiful scenes imaginable to me.My mother,Elsa Providenzia Scuderi, was born on July 18, 1934, the first of ten kids. She grew up in a houseon the edge of Lake Champlain in Ticonderoga, New York. The main feature of the house was atower of stone that helped to keep the house warm and cozy in the harsh, cold winter and coolduring the long, hot days of summer.

He would tell them stories of sea turtles and of his life as a boy in Sicily. Theywould listen and giggle and yawn and try to keep their eyes open, waiting and watching the darknight skies for the northern lights. Then, when the light shows began, Emmanuel would sing to his
