"È proprio vero che quando ti nasce un figlio non sai mai chi ti metti in casa. Poco più di un anno fa è arrivata Penelope Nina. Se prima eravamo in due è il racconto di come è andato l'inizio della nostra conoscenza e di come, piano piano, mi sono innamorato di lei.

Per ogni uomo la prima volta che comincia a sentirsi padre è diversa. E questa non è che la prima di tantissime prime volte.
