Summary of Aili McConnon & Andres McConnon's Road to Valor

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Gino grew up in Ponte a Ema, a town in Italy that was a laundry town. The orchards outside town were ideal for any pastime that involved hiding and chasing, and he and his friends would frequently play games of tag or cops and robbers in the fields.

#2 Gino’s father, Torello, was the primary breadwinner of the family. He was a quiet, old workhorse who moved with the ease of a young one. His features did not reveal much about him. He always wore a beret and a thick mustache covered the edges of his mouth.

#3 Torello was a laborer who worked primarily in the fields. He was used to hard work, but his job stability did little to inspire confidence. He worked principally in the fields, and when that type of job wasn’t available, he worked in a local quarry.

#4 The bicycle had been invented more than a century before Gino, but the first versions were little more than wooden horses mounted on wheels. In 1790, a Frenchman rode one of these devices in a rudimentary race around the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
