Follow the remarkable lives of the Schenone family of San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. Track their amazing journey through the eyes of Nilda and her three sisters-in-law. The lives of these four strong women wove together over eight decades as the Schenone’s elevated from poverty to a blossoming extended family. Four best friends born during the Great Depression supported each other through love, life, and loss. They grew into the matriarchs of the Schenone clan, passing on their legacy of unconditional love and support to new generations. Nilda was born from her parents' adulterous scandal, sending her on a lifelong search for love and acceptance. Her best friends, Norine, Mabel, and Molly married into the Schenone family, and joined her to form the group of strong matriarchs that nurtured each successive generation. Together they shared life's greatest joys and deepest sorrows as each found love, lost loved ones, and built families. They traversed eight decades, carrying themselves with exceptional wit, charm, and grace. Their legacy lives on within the hearts of dozens of Schenones.
