A Brooklyn Rose

Autor Suzanna G. Lonchar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2003
Imagine living next door to the famous Bonnano crime family or being held hostage by a gangster during a shoot-out or hiding Al Capones guns in your shoeshine box This story lets you enter a world where extraordinary circumstances were merely everyday events. The Finazzo family traveled from Sicily to America in search of the fabled 'American Dream, ' only to find poverty, tragedies, prison, death, and even murder. It was the era of prohibition, speakeasies, and later The Great Depression...gangsters, racketeers, and the mafia that corrupted the neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, where they migrated. This true story tells how each family member was affected by this extraordinary environment. Rosie leads you through her many heart-wrenching, yet sometimes, hilarious, adventures as she struggles to survive on the streets of Brooklyn. At age ten her character is hardened by poverty, murder, death, hunger, and the sound of screams from her mother's pain as she suffers with cancer. Rosie steals to eat, cusses, smokes and boxes.
