by James a. Fragale (Author)
An appealing, attractive, hot, hunky, unexposed-to-life early-20's West Virginia Italian, singer-songwriter comes to New York City seeking fame and fortune as well as the answer to life only to bump into realities for which he's hardly prepared. What happens will make you laugh, bring tears to your eyes, titillate you and make you want to tell your friends. Dedicated to my mother and to mothers everywhere.
