SMALLTIME: A Story of My Family and the Mob

A riveting American immigrant story that travels back to Risorgimento, Sicily, to the ancient, dusty, hill-town home of Antonino Sciotto, the author's great-grandfather, who leaves his wife and children in grinding poverty for a new life--and wife--in a Pennsylvania mining town. Moving, dryly funny, and richly detailed, this is an irresistible memoir by a masterful writer.
