The Santorelli family lives in the Lower [name]East[/name] Side, Manhattan in the 1890’s.They both came from whealthy families in [name]Siena[/name]. They fell in love as teenagers but both of their families disapproved of the match and forbid them to see each other so they eloped to [name]America[/name], penniless. Mr. Santorelli works in a butcher shop and Mrs. Santorelli works in a sweatshop sewing shirtwaists from morning till night. The owner of the sweatshop is very harsh and callous, having very little sympathy for tue plight of tye poor working mother, so Mrs. Santoreeli is forced to work in gruelling conditions throughout her pregnancy with her seventh child. The baby is actually born in the sweatshop on a cold [name]December[/name] day. Poor Mrs. Santorelli gave birth to her little boy on the floor of the filthy sweatshop with the help of other workers and then had to return to work and hide him until her ten hour shift was over, in order not to lose her job. And she did! The boy lived through all of it and is now a happy and very lucky one year old.
