Author Antonio John Soave announces the paperback release of Ice Time: Frozen Rinks. Buried Wounds. Hardened Hearts. An Italian American Family Saga., now available on Amazon. Set against the backdrop of Detroit's working-class Italian-American neighborhoods and its deeply rooted hockey culture, Ice Time is a story of family, friendship, faith, and redemption. Although hockey is woven throughout the novel, its most important conflicts take place far beyond the rink.
At the heart of the story is Tony Perino, a young man whose love of hockey offers an escape from a troubled childhood. Growing up in a traditional Italian-American household, Tony struggles with the emotional consequences of his difficult relationship with his father, Giovanni. Those early experiences leave wounds that follow him into adulthood, affecting his relationships, his choices, and his understanding of what it means to be a father himself.
