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 Fathers" 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, "Sopranos" & "A Bronx Tale" | Blood of Our Fathers by Sonny Girard Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Fiction > Literary P10140, Sonny Girard<
