No Customer Reviews
"Historically important, insightful, and hugely entertaining" - Debra Di Blasi, author of "Drought" and "Prayers of an Accidental Nature" "Bold and frank, "Crime A Day" tells Joe DiBuduo's story of growing up poor and hungry, of the redemptive power of love, and one man's ability to change his life of circumstance to a life of choice. A fascinating glimpse into the seedy underbelly of mid-20th Century America." - Michaela Carter, author of Further Out Than You Thought By turns unsettling, witty and tragic, "Crime A Day" exposes the harsh consequences of childhood poverty, educational deprivation and social marginalization. DiBuduo went from a hard-working 6-year-old paperboy to a 22-year-old ex-con with a history of incarceration spanning nearly a decade. An unforgettable memoir about tough gangsters and hard drinkers, corrupt police and cynical judges, and the hungry, hardscrabble kids who survived "Hano"- once Boston's roughest and most impoverished neighborhood.
