A true Southern love story built on grit, laughter, and a lifetime of shared moments.

Orlando "Scar" and Geraldine "Jelly" Stevens Cingolani didn't live a flashy life - they lived a real one. Rooted in McGehee, Arkansas, theirs is a story of marriage, family, faith, and fifty years of holding steady through all life brought their way.

From squirrel hunts and homemade spaghetti to front-porch storytelling and backyard garden lessons, When Scar Met Jelly is a heartfelt tribute to the beauty of ordinary days lived with extraordinary love.

Told with warmth, wit, and rich detail, this book celebrates a legacy built not on fame or fortune, but on family, resilience, and the kind of love that lasts.

For anyone who believes the best stories come from real life - this one's for you.
