Author Toni Bellissimo’s New Book, “Anne Can Do It: A Hudson Valley Girl’s Story,” is a Poignant Account of the Author’s Mother and Her Lasting Impact on Those Around Her

Fairfax Station, VA, February 28, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Toni Bellissimo, a loving mother of two who lives in the DC metro area with her husband, where she works as a government relations consultant, has completed her new book, “Anne Can Do It: A Hudson Valley Girl’s Story”: a powerful account of the incredible life and times of the author’s mother and her family, documenting the triumphs and trials she encountered.

“In the classic 1946 Frank Capra classic ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ the main
character George is given an opportunity to find out what the world would be like if he’d never been born,” writes Bellissimo. “He’s told by the angel Clarence that a life touches so many others, leaving a big hole when that person is not around. Anne’s life touched so many throughout her nearly ninety-six years. This book is a small way to chronicle her impact on so many lives.

“More than a memoir, it's a journey of generations, a thank you for her love and dedication to her family. Born during the Roaring ‘20s, raised during the Depression, and growing up during WWII, Anne was a woman of the ‘Greatest Generation’ and exemplified the qualities that gave her the strength and good humor to face the challenges of a long and blessed life. Her family’s legacy is inextricably tied to the history of her hometown and the Hudson Valley.

“A story of contrasts and changes, love and loss, trials and triumphs. Enjoy the story of how Anne did it.”
