Many families are comprised of the good and the bad, the cherished and the reprehensible, some change, others never intend to. This is the generational saga of the ups and downs of one such family.
In Stanoli, author Dr. Vincent M.M. Galici Sr. narrates the story of generations of the Stanoli's, an Italian family involved in organized crime. It journeys through the lives of key figures in the clan and traces their lifestyles, ideals, purposes, successes, failures, and the will to march on despite heartbreaking setbacks and sometimes inhuman decisions.
Filled with colorful characters, Stanoli provides insight into one Mafia family where the will to correct poor choices and make a better life for their progeny is the hope and dream. Some achieve it while others fall short perpetuating a seemingly insurmountable cycle. Yet with each generational attempt, courage abides and promise of a better posterity is cultivated. Some will never change, leaving a legacy of gloom and doom, while others become the better person, paying whatever price to attain the dream and leave a bright and happy trail.
