The Big Knife

By: J. Cutrone

Narrated by: J. Cutrone

"It's kind of like getting caught in an undertow," Lanna whispered to Tommy as they buckled up in the backseat of her parents' car. "Best to sort of relax and let it sweep you away."

When "Olive Garden Italian" Tommy Salvatore arrives in his fiance's hometown on Long Island for Thanksgiving, he has no idea what he's in for. Luckily for him, it seems like the big, loud Ferraro family only cares that their new addition has shown up with an appetite.

Soon, Tommy discovers that his future in-laws are dealing with a lot under the surface, and some secrets just have to come out. After this year, no one will be the same.

Holidays. Weddings. Funerals. It's going to be a wild ride for the Ferraro family, so come in and take a load off. (Did you eat?)

all the Italian American feels…

..like waking up on Sunday morning to the smell of sauce, tearing off the crispiest part of a chicken cutlet right out of the oven, coming home for Christmas. If you are Italian American or just want to catch a glimpse into a day in their life, this book’s for you!

Family, Love and Food

This is a great testament to the power of family, told in a hilarious and moving way.
If you’re Italian, or know an Italian, you will love this family and how they love and support each other in good times and tough times.
A great read. An even better audiobook.
