Author Talk with Andrew Botieri

Andrew’s journey as an author began after a life-changing medical crisis. In 2000, he was diagnosed with the rare autoimmune disease Scleroderma, which led to kidney failure and his brush with death experience. Defying the odds, he recovered after a 28-hour coma — an event that inspired his first book, “A Celebration of Life: A Story of Hope, A Miracle & The Power of Attitude.” The memoir shares his extraordinary story of overcoming adversity, resilience, and the importance of maintaining balance in life.
 
His newest novel, “The Magical Espresso Machine,” marks a creative new chapter. The Magical Espresso Machine is a sweet, dual-timeline, intergenerational love story (with a fantasy twist). Beginning in Northern Italy pre-World War I, the story continues generations later in the historic town of Plymouth, Massachusetts. Follow two star-crossed teenagers, Generosa and Caesar, who were meant to be together forever. Yet the tragedy of war tears them apart.
Decades later, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Marie, marries the love of her life, Anthony, and after the birth of their child, Jacelyn, life is perfect...until it isn’t. Experience the highly emotional interwoven stories of these families amid the glow of the magical espresso machine.
