St John's University, Queens, New YorkSicilian Sunrise Book Review by Nino Provenzano, Sicilian American Poet This novel is rich in detail. In the pages of Cambridge Street the reader will find the importance of family values, will encounter the honest hard-working immigrant, the good Samaritan, the hardened criminal, the corrupt politician, the rotten cop, the good cop, the good neighbor, the priest who is a doer, a courageous man who puts his life on the line, to save innocent people. Anyone who calls himself or herself an American, other than a Native American, should be able to identify his or her ancestors with this immigrant story. This novel is a great subject for an historical movie. SynopsisForced to leave Sicily, the Tomaso family arrives in freezing, squalid Chicago at the dawning of the Roaring 20s. Home is now a 4th floor apartment in a tenement building on Cambridge Street in Little Sicily, known locally as Little Hell. Slaughterhouse wages, even after working twelve hours a day, barely pay the rent and feed the family. Survival is a day-to-day struggle but they are determined that their children will become Americans. The neighborhood crime boss runs the people and businesses in the neighborhood with an iron fist. His brutal enforcers keep everyone in line. When an act of unforgiveable violence is committed against his family, Paolo Tomaso swears revenge. The Don will not - cannot - tolerate disrespect and sends killers to murder Paolo publicly as an example. With the young father's violent death imminent and certain, the couple stands together - and alone - against the monsters who wait outside their door. Their actions will determine who they are as people and decide the futures of their children. Reader's CommentAuthor Steven Decker portrays the love, courage, determination, strength, harsh realities, painful decisions, and hope all intertwined in the immigrant experience. This story celebrates family and the triumphant power of selfless, unconditional love in the face of countless obstacles and even great evil. Cambridge Street is a heartfelt, realistic, and thought-provoking glimpse of the great immigrant story that is the United States. It is a MUST READ I absolutely love this book.…
