It's the 1960s in New Hampshire, and Gloria Norris is growing up in the projects with her family. A photo might show a happy, young family, but only a dummkopf would believe that. Jimmy's a wiseguy who relies on charm, wit and an unyielding belief that he's above the law; and his youngest daughter, Gloria, is just like him. Or at least, she knows that she needs to stay on his good side. When an unspeakable act of violence shakes her to her core, Gloria's fiery determination takes shape and she sets herself on a path away from the cycle of violence whirling around her.

DrexEdit @ValerieAndBooks @ljuliel Thank you! This is not doing good things to my TBR but I'm going to add all of these to my list! 😊 5y
ljuliel They are all great. My favorite part in Zippy is when the neighbor guy complains about her dog barking. That‘s all I‘ll say. It is hilarious. 😂 @DrexEdit I really like memoirs a lot ! (edited) 5y
ljuliel Dear @MrBook Do you have any more memoir posts to shoot out for us or are you too busy right now ? 5y
MrBook @ljuliel Sorry, just seeing this now 🙈. I at least have more memoirs shared through this display‘s posts. I think I stayed consistent, lol, and hope the hashtag will take you to my previous posts of the display. 😊 5y

I was very excited to read this as I live and grew up in the Manchester NH area myself. I was not disappointed. I thought this was beautifully written. For someone who knows the area it has a wonderful feeling of nostalgia, but even if you aren't from this area it is a fantastic read.

*I received this book from the Goodreads giveaway program.* This book was brutally honest and intense, and it evokes visceral responses. But it's an important true story about breaking the cycle of violence, and it is so worth reading.

reganarts So happy to hear you liked it! What a powerful story!! 8y
