Blood of Our Fathers Sonny Girard

?An authentic thriller from a mob guy who?s obviously been there.? -- Nicholas Pileggi, Author of Wiseguy (Film name: Goodfellas) With razor-sharp honesty, Sonny Girard, an ex-mobster himself, tells the story of ?Mickey Boy? Messina, just paroled from prison for a crime he didn?t commit, and in love with his brother?s ex-girlfriend, Laurel, a complication on his road to becoming a ?made man? in the Calabra Crime Family. Mickey Boy?s mother, Connie, carries a secret of an affair that could cost her son his life. Chrissy Augusta, a top mobster?s teenage daughter, walks a dangerous tightrope with a secret lover from another Cosa Nostra family. All three affairs collide with tragic results in the midst of a bloody mob war. From Little Italy social clubs to mob bedrooms, BLOOD OF OUR FATHERS is a tale of intimacy, loyalty and betrayal in the underworld ? an underworld caught up in a war that threatens the life of everyone associated with it. Three love stories in a mob setting rather than a mob story, BLOOD OF OUR FATHER portrays family secrets, authentic organized crime politics, and bloodshed that crackles with vivid detail. ?Girard shines as a storyteller?(he has an) authoritative grasp of the Mafia?s inner workings.? -- Publishers Weekly ?This story is not just for guys. It?s like Jackie Collins meets Mario Puzo. I loved it.? --Katherine Narducci, Actor (Sopranos, Bronx Tale, etc.)
