Maria & La Famiglia (Paperback)

This is the story of the amazing life of my Great Grandmother Maria as told to me by my beloved Grandmother and Maria's daughter, Grace. Maria was raised in an Orphanage from the age of 6 in Palermo Sicily at the turn of the 20th century after the loss of her mother and the conviction of her father for a murder he did not commit. As Maria grew into adulthood she would eventually meet the man that was to become her husband, Nicholas Bono, a respected man as they say in Sicilian culture for men involved in Cosa Nostra or the Mafia. Nicholas was an underboss for one of the most notorious mobsters of the day, Al Capone. Although her story tells of the many adventures Maria experienced as a Mafia wife, It's is also a love story and speaks to the eternal and undying love Maria had for her Family. La Famiglia
