FROM THE AUTHOR
Pete Comes To America is my grandfather's immigration story. My grandfather always spoke so lovingly about his beloved island of Lesvos. He cherished his Greek heritage and was proud of the life he created for his family. My great-grandparents provided us all with an amazing life because of their brave immigration. My father, Pete's son, Demetrios (Jimmy), who is now 88 years old, talks with such fond memories of the Greek Coffee Shop that he visited with his family when he was a child, and spending time in his grandfather's barber shop.
