Until I Smile At You

Until I Smile at You is a family love story. Roseann Lombardi provides a poignant tale of heartache and hope in the coming together of two fiercely proud Italian-American families on Long Island, New York, in the 1940s. The author's true account is enhanced by her dreams, reflections, and recollections from her childhood in the 1950s. Lombardi's tender narrative not only exposes human frailty and the lifelong consequences of decisions, but also deftly lays bare the disparate features of loyalty, forgiveness, and redemption.

Roseann Lombardi is a life-long resident of Long Island, New York. She is a former school teacher who works in commercial property management and affordable housing construction. Until I Smile at You is her first book.
