Mob Daughter (Hardcover)
The Mafia, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, and Me!
Rating
;){kind=link}
A revealing memoir by the daughter of Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, and star of the VH1 reality?TV show Mob Wives
Karen Gravano is the daughter of Sammy ?the Bull? Gravano, one of the mafia`s most feared hit men. With 19 confessed murders,?the former Gambino Family underboss was John Gotti?s right-hand man, and the highest ranking gangster ever to turn State?s evidence and testify against members of his high-profile crime family.?
But to Karen, Sammy Gravano was a sometimes elusive but always loving father figure. ?He was ever-present at the head of the dinner table.? He made a living running a construction firm and several nightclubs. ?He stayed out late, and sometimes he didn?t come home at all.? He hosted ?secret? meetings at?their house, and had countless whispered conversations with ?business associates.? By the age of twelve,?Karen knew he was a gangster.? And as she grew up, while her peers worried about clothes and?schoolwork, she was coming face-to-face with crime and murder.? Gravano was nineteen years old when?her father turned his back on the mob and cooperated with the Feds.? The fabric of?her family was ripped apart, and they were?instantly ostracized from the communities?they grew up in, living in fear of retaliation.
This is the story of a daughter?s struggle to?reconcile the image of?her loving father with?that of a murdering Mafioso, and how, in the rift between the two,?she was able to forge a life.

Team Karen!
Great, quick read.. if you are a fan of the show, you will need to buy this. Not a literary great by any means, but a fun read. Of course this book is all from Karen's perspective, but she doesnt seem to candy coat much of what happened. I am a fan of hers, she seems to be a strong person who had a unique upbringing. Go Team Karen!

This really sucks!!
Terrible book. Content just glossed over the important facts and left out many issues. Just another scam for Karen to get easy money using her fathers name. She has nothing to offer that hasn't already been heard from the media and other news reports. REALLY glossed over her involvement in the drug ring she started and that put her father back in prison. Another easy money scam just like this book. She is all about making herself look good and not telling the real truth. It is her story so I guess she can tell it anyway she wants and I was stupid enough to buy it thinking it would have some real grit and substance but NO!!
