Mean Little People (Home Street Home Series) PAPERBACK 2017 by Paige Dearth

Description: 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. Tony's only moments of peace were found in the arms of his mother, but she was no match for her husband and could not protect her 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, and taking his rightful place among his peers. 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 instinctively 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 being a devoted friend, 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 where he has a sense of belonging. 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. **WARNING** 18+ Readers Only.

Mean Little People reminded me of Karin Slaughter's Pretty Girls. I like authors that are not afraid to tackle subjects with straightforward rawness that they infuse in their prose." - Vlad NetGalley Reviewer "This is a wonderful piece of writing, and definitely a memorable story. This is one of those books that you will still be thinking about, long after finishing it." - Todd Simpson NetGalley Reviewer "This is a tale of abuse, betrayal, and the desperate quest for redemption and acceptance in a world that let one more child down. Read it, try to tell me you are not affected." - Tome Tender "A unique novel with dark undertones. Paige is a master at revealing the underbelly of society and providing not only a good read, but also a lesson in morality." - Robert Rook NetGalleyReviewer Mean Little People eBook categories: Horror Novels Psychological Horror Suspenseful Novels Realistic Fiction Thriller Dark Disturbing Crime Fiction Murder Family Drama Novels Vigilante Justice Mafia Suspense Horror Kidnapping Novels Scary Psychological Thriller Publisher ‏ : ‎ CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Language ‏ : ‎ English Paperback ‏ : ‎ 459 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1544212658 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1544212654 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.6 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 6 x 1.15 x 9 inches SHIPPING Shipping All items fast and secure.
