Narrado por: Eden Gabay, Marina Fess

A reckless journey from boyhood to Mafia.

(The HOME STREET HOME SERIES is a collection of standalone novels.)

Tony Bruno is like any other seven-year-old boy...He wants to have fun and be accepted by his peers. But the boys in Tony’s school bully him unmercifully, until one day, they almost kill him.

His father is embarrassed by Tony’s inability to defend himself and tries to beat and berate the mean into his son.

One day Tony’s tormentors push him too far. Possessed by blind rage Tony fights back with a vengeance, tipping the balance of power.

Years later Tony notices the new kid, Salvatore being tormented by the class bully. Tony didn’t know that Salvatore’s father was a powerful man, and rushes into the fight and protects Salvatore. This act of kindness forges a bond creating a lifetime friendship of trust and loyalty.

One night Salvatore commits a horrific crime and Tony pays the consequences. While in juvenile detention Tony is assaulted and the acts of cruelty harden him. Back on the outside with no place to go, Tony does what’s needed to survive.

After leaving his street gang, Tony becomes a made man inside the Philadelphia mob family. With resolute allegiance and conviction to the mafia, Tony cherishes being part of a real family, one much stronger than those with a bloodline.

This is a story about a boy born into poverty and destined to become a mobster. Tony Bruno loves as hard as he hates and protects as quickly as he kills.

Some see Tony as a criminal and others see him as a hero...But you must decide for yourself if Tony falls on the side of good or evil.

Every word.

Absolutely great story. Loved all the twist and turns.im sure I’ll read it again and again.

Remarkable Narration

Whilst at times a brutal story, the narrators breathe life and depth into these characters. Tony is so complex, I sympathized with him and hated him in equal measure.

The nuance of this delivery was straight out of a Scorsese film.

If you are looking for an audiobook where the narration truly shines, this is an essential listen.

this narrator was perfect

loved the narrator it brought to life the story I liked the most when I first read it. I need the rest now please

Karma

The plot of this book was fantastic. It will make you feel all the emotions and leave you with a satisfying conclusion. It will take you on a chokehold ride of Tony.

Wow

This was the first book that made me cry, and rage, and really want to hurt someone. It was an excellent book, and gives you all the feels; good, I'm glad and bad.

amazing narrators

Although the story was at times brutal, the writing was overall simplistic and the story long winded
