A BRONX GIRL
(A Memoir)

A BRONX GIRL: Growing Up in the Bronx in the 1960's vividly encapsulates the sights, sounds, and soul of the Bronx during one of its most iconic eras. Navigating the world of childhood and then adolescence in a neighborhood teeming with middle-class aspirations, Linda finds herself trapped between the ambitions of Gloria, her single parent obsessive-compulsive mother, and the comforting embrace of her Nana Claire. As Gloria's dreams of stardom for her daughter clash with Linda's own desires, tensions rise, leading to heart-breaking scenarios and tough decisions.

While the streets hum with Beatles' songs and the distant cheers from Yankee Stadium, Linda grapples with the weight of family trauma, personal loss, and the thrill of falling in love for the first time. This memoir, A BRONX GIRL, paints a portrait of resilience and transformation. It is the story of a young girl coming of age in the heart of an ever-changing city.

Years later, with the shadows of the past looming, Linda discovers revelations about her mother, their relationship, and with life-changing insights about herself.

Whether you're a fellow New Yorker nostalgic for the past, a lover of 'coming of age' tales or seeking the universality of human experience amidst the city's backdrop, A BRONX GIRL will resonate, wrench, and uplift your heart.
