  Pittsburgh's small but lucrative Cosa Nostra mafia family was on the rise in 1985 with a newly crowned Don . . . The men who came to dominate the rackets in western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and West Virginia opened the family to massive profits from drug trafficking and a street tax on other criminal activities. At the same time, the Youngstown, Ohio, faction of the family launched a brutal mob war against the weakening Cleveland mafia and the Altoona, Pennsylvania, crew violently clamped down on their city. Discover gritty stories of a made member who controlled who a local police department hired, an informant who betrayed his own mafia grandfather and father, numerous unsolved murders and a mob mole in the Pittsburgh office of the FBI. This is the tale of a mafia family at the pinnacle of its power, willing to do anything to hold on to that power and its downfall in the criminal underworld.

  Colombia - Historical and...

  Colombia, located in the northwestern part of South America, is a country of remarkable geographical diversity and cultural richness. Bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north, Venezuela to the east, Brazil to the southeast, Peru to the south, Ecuador to the southwest, and Panama to the northwest, it stands as a bridge between the continents of North and South America. Its geographical expanse is characterized by lush rainforests, the majestic Andes mountains, vast plains, and a significant coastline. This diversity shapes the country’s economy, society, and political history, making it a land of both opportunities and challenges. 
  Colombia’s population is approximately 51 million, making it the third-most populous country in Latin America, after Brazil and Mexico. The country’s people are as diverse as its landscape, with a population made up of mestizos, Afro-Colombians, indigenous groups, and a small percentage of people with European ancestry. This blend of cultures has contributed to the development of a rich, multifaceted society with deep-rooted traditions in music, dance, literature, and art. Cities like Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali are cultural hubs, while small towns across the country preserve indigenous practices and lifestyles that have been passed down through generations. 
  The political landscape of Colombia has been shaped by a complex history of colonization, independence, civil conflict, and efforts to modernize. Initially colonized by the Spanish in the early 1500s, Colombia gained independence in 1810. However, political fragmentation and civil war marked the country’s early years as a republic. It wasn’t until the mid-20th century that Colombia began to establish a more stable government, although violence from guerilla groups, drug cartels, and paramilitary forces has intermittently disrupted the peace.

  You will laugh and cry when you read how Patti Smith lovingly and honestly reveals transformative lessons gleaned from forty-plus years of caring for (and being tutored by) her son, Christopher. His diagnosis as a baby with Down Syndrome at first tilted her world off-axis, only to reveal itself to be the thing that actually set her worldview at the exact right angle. 
  In an inspirational and heartwarming manner, Patti explains how her life was changed for the better in profound ways. 
  With her son as her master teacher, Patti learned to see life through his perspective and discover the joy in situations requiring her to dig deeply into her own psyche to identify beliefs needing adjustment. She shares the way she changes with vulnerability and light-heartedness, while giving credit to her clever son who is respectfully referred to as her own Professor Higgins. 
  This book is not just a book about how to raise a child with Down Syndrome, but an inspiring and humorous reflection of parenting and relationships in general. 
  Awarded the Olive Woolley Burt Award for Creative Writing in the New Voices category.
