Publisher Description
Growing up in a town run by organized crime, with a father involved in organized crime, "the life" was all Sal ever knew. Well, that, plus what he learned watching '80s sitcoms and movies.
But sometimes life throws changes at you that force you to reexamine who you really are and what you want out of life.
Can Sal adjust to a new life hiding out in the suburbs, wearing polo shirts, discussing 401Ks, and fighting battles against suburban moms and neighborhood kids? Or will he go back to his old criminal ways, inflicting pain and blowing his cover?
Customer Reviews
Sal in the suburbs
Great read. Starts out like a light version of an Updike or Roth novel; a pale depressing description of a part of NJ you’d never want to see. Then the story flips unexpectedly and lands in a perfect suburban setting and turns bright and witty. The main character uses his criminal skills and confidence with great success in upscale suburbia and highlights some entertaining facets of people living in “the bubble”.
The only shame is that the story ends a little abruptly and without a view into Sal’s ever-after.
