"Gabriella del Grappa"

Gabriella is Henrietta’s younger sister. She was born from a discarded, cracked egg that her parents were sure was rotten. Eve sat on her egg and raised her from a little chick to the beauty she is now. After a long search, and genetic testing, she was found to be the daughter of the late del Grappas of Bassano del Grappa. Garbriella is a published poet whose favorite subject is the moon. She spends her days in creative pursuits. She is an AIDS activist who is a Meiway fan. At dusk, before settling into her nest, she sings his song "Le Dernier Siécle." She credits her creative spirit and her strength of character, body and mind to the crack in her egg. She owes her mental health to Sharon Klayman Farber (When the Body is the Target).
