Tony Petrosino, 14 years old and an immigrant from a poor village outside Naples, Italy, becomes a newsboy in 1889 New York City and learns to cope with his family, his future, and life around him in Little Italy.
Asked to write two novels about immigration for the Jamestown American Portraits series, I chose to stretch my imagination and write lovingly about an Italian immigrant family, even though I am not Italian.
