Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Italian-American novel that is bold and honest in its treatment of detailing the years of America's Great Depression. The story, based on some true incidents, is, however, a fictional memoir, passionate in its themes, yet thought-provoking, engrossing, and volcanic. The story opens with the impoverished Belvederes moving into a new neighborhood in Brooklyn, all family members being unaware of impending doom. Near them lives a wealthy and beautiful young widow who is immediately attracted to Adrian. How does he, the youngest son, a recent parochial school graduate, thwart the advances of the neighborhood Jezebel? Does he want to?
