Debut Author Series: Suzanne Corso, Brooklyn Story
Married to the mob - almost.  Brooklyn Story  is Suzanne Corso's debut autobiographical novel about 15-year-old Samantha Bronti and her dreams of crossing the bridge from Bensonhurst to Manhattan. With her Smith-Corona, ambition, good looks, and little else--Sam's Jewish mom is a bitter, drunken mess on welfare, and her Italian dad is long gone--she negotiates the shady world of the "Brooklyn Boys" and deals with what it means to be the girlfriend of mob acolyte Tony Kroon. 

This event is $5.00 and may be used toward the purchase of the book.
