Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I was nine years old when I began to suspect that my father was a gangster. We were driving around neighborhoods in Staten Island, and my father pointed out a house that looked like it belonged to a mob boss.#2 I was constantly being confronted with the possibility that my father was connected - a mobster - because he had a lot of friends who were bouncers. I didn’t know what a mobster was, but I knew they were cooler than the other dads.#3 I knew that my father was a gangster when I was 12 years old. I knew not to ask any questions. I thought it was weird the way the men all kissed each other on one cheek and then exchanged a firm handshake.#4 I overheard my parents talking about a man who wanted to buy one of my father’s nightclubs. Dad said the man was nuts. I didn’t understand what the man was doing that made my father think he was out of his mind, but I knew it was beginning to piss off my father.
