Lisa Novick Goldberg is a descriptive and engaging storyteller. Mafia life is not something that interests me much but this memoir speaks about the author’s growing up in this life and that was Incredibly interesting from the start. I really enjoyed learning about this time in NYC and about the author’s family.

Having grown up in New York I enjoyed reading a bout the people the neighborhoods. Lisa tells an open honest story of her life her parents,her dads mafia connections.A real New York story with scary moments hilarious moments Perfrct for a movie.#netgalley#o’possumpress

i really enjoyed this honest account of such a different lifestyle, i both laughed out load and my heart went out to the writer. the lifestyle tat she loved was portrayed so well in her words.

This was such an interesting memoir, as it was written with such honesty at the challenges and rewards of being the daughter of someone "connected" to the mafia in New York. I admire the author's writing, as this book wasn't cheesy, as some mafia memoirs are because they exaggerate in an obvious way.
