Hanover Park Sophomore Author
Book Signing
“A true family can travel up and down a road and back, but they never get lost because they have each other.” So writes Hanover Park sophomore Maria Catherina Capozzoli in her first book, My Life as a Teenage Golden Girl’s Fan.
Published
by Dorrance Publishing Company, the book chronicles the episodes of the
1985-1992 television show, The Golden Girls, as well as the hidden meanings and
lessons taught by the characters. The author also discusses the show’s impact
across generations and its influence on her life.
Capozzoli, an East Hanover resident, was most inspired after reading an autobiography by the late Rue McClanahan, who played the part of “Blanche.” “I wanted to act, but didn’t know where to start,” Capozzoli explains, “so I just wrote a book.” She sought to make Capozzoli a household name. And she’s getting there; her two-year project is now among the top five bestsellers for Dorrance Publishing.
According to the book’s Amazon.com review, readers find Capozzoli’s “enthusiasm for life and the celebration of friendship contagious.” The book is available for purchase on Amazon.com and through Dorrance’s online bookstore.
The East Hanover Public Library will host a book signing on October 2 from 2 to 4 pm. Limited books will be available. Members of the community will also see Capozzoli featured at the Morris County Italian American Columbus Day Parade along Ridgedale Avenue in East Hanover on October 9. More information can be found on Capozzoli’s website.
