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\""31.19 | Blood of Our Fathers, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
