Rita Gigante was the youngest daughter of Vincent and
Olympia Gigante. Growing up, she wondered what her father
did for a living, never dreaming that he was actually a
Mafia boss.
In her memoir, THE GODFATHER'S DAUGHTER, Gigante describes
her life growing up in New York as a part of a big Italian
American family and discovering that her father,
Vincent "Chin" Gigante, was involved in a life of violence
and crime as the head of one of the five prominent Mafia
families.
Rita describes in great detail what it was likfe to grow up
in the situation she was in,
and what it was like to have a mafia boss as her father. It
was heartbreaking to read of the violence, detachment,
betrayal, lies, deceit, and impossible expectations that
swirled around her life. She also describes her
struggles with frequent illnesses and depression related to
her stress and the impact the horror of that kind of life
had on her life. Rita also relates on how her life as a gay
woman impacted her family.
Overcoming impossible odds, Rita found a life of
contentment, forgiveness, and peace in her adult years. Her
life's work and experiences have her dedicating her
life to help others heal spiritually, emotionally, and
physically through various healing therapy's, including
sound therapy, intuitive healing, spiritual counseling,
and angel readings.
THE GODFATHER'S DAUGHTER is a fascinating autobiography of a
brave young woman
who has faced the demons of her childhood and used her
experiences to help others gain strength and self-
confidence. Written in her own voice, reading Rita's story
is like sitting down and talking with a friend.
On the surface, Rita Gigante’s family looked like all the other Italian Catholics in her suburban New Jersey neighborhood. But behind closed doors, they had a secret—her father was notorious crime boss Vincent “the Chin” Gigante, head of all five New York crime families. In The Godfather’s Daughter, Rita takes us on her emotional and spiritual journey growing up on the tumultuous fringes of the underworld. Her struggles with deception and honesty, violence and love, and sickness and healing finally lead Rita up to a world of light—and a life where she can finally accept and bravely live her own truth.
