Fiction Family Life
The year is 1960 and the place is the Bronx. All
twelve-year-old Ricky Davis wants to do is play stickball
with his friends and flirt with the building super’s
daughter. But when his father crosses gangster Nathan
Glucksman and goes into hiding, Ricky has to take over his
father’s bookie business and figure out a way to pay back
his debt—before the gangsters make good on their threats.
Meanwhile, Ricky’s mother, Pearl, a fading beauty of failed
dreams, plots to raise the money by embezzling funds from
one of her boss’s clients: Elizabeth Taylor. Fast-paced,
engrossing and full of heart, The Bookie’s Son paints the
picture of a family forced to decide just how much they’re
willing to sacrifice for each other—and at what cost.
