SUGAR POP MOON<br />

FLORIO, JOHN<br />

Jersey Leo is the quintessential outsider--an albino of mixed race. Known as "Snowball" on the street, he<br />

makes a living as the bartender at a mob-run speakeasy in Prohibition-era Hell's Kitchen. Being neither<br />

black nor white, he has no group to call his own. His own mother abandoned him as a baby. And his<br />

father-a former boxing champ with his own secrets-disapproves of Jersey's work at a dive owned by one<br />

of New York's most notorious gangsters. So when he inadvertently purchases counterfeit moonshine<br />

("sugar pop moon") with his boss's money-a potentially fatal mistake-he must go undercover to track<br />

down the bootlegger who took him in. The clues lead to Philadelphia, where he runs into a cleaverswinging<br />

madman out for his femurs and a cold-blooded gangster holed up on a Christmas-tree farm.<br />

Now with a price on his head in two cities, Jersey seeks help from the only man he can trust, his father.<br />

As the two delve into the origins of the mysterious sugar pop moon, stunning secrets about Jersey's past<br />

come to light. To ensure his future, Jersey must face his past, even if it means that life will never return to<br />

normal.<br />

For over a hundred years, the Angelini Shoe Company in Greenwich Village has relied on the leather<br />

Valentine Roncalli, the school teacher turned shoemaker, to fall in love with Gianluca Vechiarelli, a tanner<br />

with a complex past . . . and a secret. A piece of surprising news is revealed at The Feast of the Seven<br />

Fishes when Valentine and Gianluca join her extended family on a fateful Christmas Eve. Now faced with<br />

life altering choices, Valentine remembers the wise words that inspired her in the early days of her<br />

beloved Angelini Shoe Company: “A person who can build a pair of shoes can do just about anything.”<br />

The proud, passionate Valentine is going to fight for everything she wants and savor all she deserves—<br />

the bitter and the sweetness of life itself.<br />
