Summary of Karen Gravano & Lisa Pulitzer's Mob Daughter
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was nine years old when I began to suspect that my father was a gangster. We were driving around neighborhoods in Staten Island, and my father pointed out a house that looked like it belonged to a mob boss. #2 I was constantly being confronted with the possibility that my father was connected - a mobster - because he had a lot of friends who were bouncers. I didn’t know what a mobster was, but I knew they were cooler than the other dads. #3 I knew that my father was a gangster when I was 12 years old. I knew not to ask any questions. I thought it was weird the way the men all kissed each other on one cheek and then exchanged a firm handshake. #4 I overheard my parents talking about a man who wanted to buy one of my father’s nightclubs. Dad said the man was nuts. I didn’t understand what the man was doing that made my father think he was out of his mind, but I knew it was beginning to piss off my father.
Summary of Elissa Wall & Lisa Pulitzer's Stolen Innocence
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was nine years old when my family got a third mother. I didn’t understand why everything had to be so different, but I knew that I had to keep sweet and not complain. We were God’s chosen people, and when Judgment Day came, we would be the only ones allowed into heaven. #2 The FLDS Church, which was the main religion my family followed, believed in polygamy. When my father got a third wife, he began to secure a place in the Celestial Kingdom for himself and his family. #3 My father’s second wife, Sharon, was expecting their second child. The family was excited, but under the surface, there was a lot of anxiety about how this would impact the already-volatile chemistry in our house. #4 The Law of Placement states that all marriages are decided by the prophet and based on a revelation that he receives from God. Everything the prophet proclaims is said to be the word of God, and thus if he directs a union, it is as if God commanded the union.

On January 15, 2000, the bruised body of thirty-four-year-old Lois McMillan, a Connecticut artist vacationing in the British Virgin Islands, was discovered draped across the rocks of an inlet where she had apparently drowned in the Caribbean waves. Local authorities on the little paradise of Tortola quickly confirmed that it was no accident. The police immediately found their suspects-four young, rich American tourists. Within twenty-four hours, the men were arrested for murder and went from a life of carefree luxury to cold jail cells. Each had an alibi. None of them had a motive. And there was no direct evidence linking any of them to Lois's death. Did authorities even have the right men?
