The Boy Who Gave Away Dreams

New York, 1909 - On an ocean liner, a young mother and her young son arrive from Italy to pursue their dream of a better life in America. But their hopes are soon dashed as brutal gangsters and their henchmen set the rules in the impoverished ghetto in the New York City borough where they find themselves along with other immigrants from all over the world. If one wants to survive here, one must not change the established rules. Unless he has charisma and an incredible gift of imagination...A novel about great love and the tenacity of a dream takes us to America in the turbulent 1920s, into the environment of the nascent film industry, radios, Broadway, Ads, skyscrapers and luxury cars.
