Life With Fred and Lucy

Marie Gilbert's latest book is a humorous collection of stories about what it was like to grow up in her Italian parents' grocery store in South Philly during the 1950s and early 1960s. It is also a tribute to the two spirits who have taken up residence in her attic. Who are Fred and Lucy? Find out in this memoir filled with heart, humor and some truly unforgettable antics from the Maratea clan.

Life with Fred and Lucy is not only a story about my childhood and growing up in South Philadelphia, but it's also a story about the two ghosts that live up in my attic. I'm not afraid of these ghosts. They know me and I know them. They don't always stay at my house. Sometimes, they'll visit my sisters and my daughter. Ghosts don't usually like to interact with the living as much as the two who reside in my attic, but they say you are in death as you were in life. Fred and Lucy were very sociable while alive. They are the same, dead.
