Growing up in Bensonhurst Ronald Newman

This book is about how I grew up living in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, from age two to age twenty-one during the late '60s, '70s, and half of the '80s. It talks about the dysfunctional family that I grew up in and the choices that I made during this time in my life. It started from as far back as I can remember. It shows the things that my mother had to endure in the times of my childhood, the craziness that our immediate family members were capable of saying and doing, and the lunacy that would came from our immediate family members and the new family members that became party of our family through marriage. It lets you read about some of the things that I have done and been a part of. It lets the reader laugh and/or get mad at some of the decisions that I made during this time. This book is entertainment for whoever reads it. Some readers may have had similar situations in their lives, or it can be for pure entertainment. The book was written in the hopes that whoever reads it, reads and anticipates the next page.
