More about the book

The book offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the Machvaia Gypsies, who have been part of the American landscape since the 16th century yet remain largely unrecognized. Carol Miller shares her experiences living among them from 1966 to 2000, capturing vibrant cultural events like weddings, saint days, and baptisms. Through the stories of unique individuals such as Baby Steve and Lola, it highlights the rich traditions and enduring legacies of a community often shrouded in mistrust and mystery.
