Twenty-something Silvia Greco is a feisty and determined young artist, desperately trying to make peace between the warring factions of her family by gathering them together for her younger brother's high school graduation. Although lovable, the Grecos can be a frustratingly stubborn Italian-American family, and in her journey to reunite them, she learns that peace isn't something that's freely existing, but something that needs to be cultivated. In the "Best of List" in "Suspense Magazine!" and with an Indie Reader's 5-Star review, readers of "Olive Branches Don't Grow on Trees" will be charmed, uplifted, and hooked by this energetic, funny, and endearing family drama. If you enjoyed the wit and heartwarming moments of Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper, you'll love this book. Buy now before the price changes!

The author weaves a tale that is a moving and realistic portrayal of a dysfunctional family with enough drama and humorous family situations that will keep the reader engaged and entertained, while providing a witty sense of humor and subtle messages of life lessons to extend the olive branch and learn to live, love and forgive." Jersey Girl Book Reviews

"The sequences of Silvia's recollections into the past with her strong willed, born ahead of her time grandmother, the jobs she has held, and lost as it were, are nothing short of brilliant." Chapters and Chats Book Reviews

"Grace's intimate knowledge of her subject shows in her frank and open style of writing, which invites the reader into the lives of the Greco family, as though they were long lost friends and therefore there is no need to stand on ceremony, or pretend that things are not just as they are. An amazingly perceptive, cleanly written and well told story, marks Grace Mattioli's debut novel." Fiction-books.biz Book Reviews
