"Dive into a meticulously-written book that's equal parts psychology, memoir, and moving narrative. The author deftly weaves philosophies about how connections influence our identities while recounting stories of his mother's life.

In A Fist Full of Teaspoons, author Donald ""Don"" Bellunduno distills the wild complexities of the human experience into a series of questions that will keep readers hooked to find answers:

What makes up the essence of the memories and life of a human being? What contributes to the substance of who we are at the end of the day? How do attachments play a role, and our ability to form relationships with objects as we age?

Within the pages of A Fistful of Teaspoons, readers will immerse themselves in both the answers to the author's questions and a colorful, heartfelt narrative about the life of the author's elderly mother. The latter informs the former, demonstrating how messages we imbibe on a daily basis affect how our identities form over time.

Don's mother, born amid the glitz and glamorous life in the Roaring 20s, has seen every up and down imaginable. She started work while the world was at war and raised a family while keeping her own hopes and dreams in mind.

A Fistful of Teaspoons is a tale of language, business, family, sorrow, world politics, and global responsibilities. It transcends ages and interests-simply existing for appreciation and the quiet legacy of a wonderful woman.

Discover her story, as well as how the culture, language, parenting, socializing, economics, and loved ones we encounter on a daily basis form who we are and how we act."
