Fiction
New York, 1909: Fifteen-year-old Cetta arrives on a
freighter with nothing but her infant son Natale: strikingly
blond, dark-eyed, and precocious. They've fled the furthest
reaches of southern Italy with the dream of a better life in
America.
But even in the "Land of the Free," the merciless laws of
gangs rule the miserable, poverty-stricken, and crime-filled
Lower East Side. Only those with enough strength and
conviction survive. As young Natale grows up in the Roaring
Twenties, he takes a page from his crippled mother's book
and finds he possesses a certain charisma that enables him
to charm the dangerous people around him ... Weaving Natale's unusual life and quest for his one true
love against the gritty backdrop of New York's underbelly,
Di Fulvio proves yet again that he is a master storyteller
as he constructs enticing characters ravaged by
circumstance, driven by dreams, and awakened by destiny. Haunting and luminous, this masterfully written blend of
romance, crime, and historical fiction will thrill lovers of
turn-of-the-century dramas like "Once Upon a Time in
America" and "Gangs of New York".
