Little Italy Diary (Italian American)

By Angela Edwards

A heartwarming, often hilarious sojourn into the author's ancestry. Relive the pivotal moments in a family's New World journey with these short stories ... A New York City cop chases a young "gang" down the twisting alleys of Little Italy. A down-on-her-luck mother meets her nemesis on a Brooklyn subway...a Sicilian lad confronts the local nobleman whose grape harvest took his father's life...a young woman uses her sensual wiles to escape her stultifying village...a witch defies the NY Board of Health to practice her craft rooted in centuries of tradition. Bootleggers, vindictive midwives, madcap flappers, crusty cops, and parallel chords of ambition and survival resonant in these stories based on true stories from the author's family history.
