Mob Daughter is the story of a daughter’s struggle to reconcile the image of her loving father with that of a murdering Mafioso, and how, in healing the rift between the two, she was able to forge a new life. Written by Gravano, the daughter of former mob underboss Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, and former New York Times correspondent Pulitzer, the book admits, rather than denies, what published stories have already revealed about her convicted father, who confessed to 19 murders.
Much of what Gravano recalls qualifies hers as a healthy, happy girlhood. By the age of twelve, little Karen knew that her daddy was gangster; as she matured, she grasped detailed knowledge of his capital crimes, including 19 confessed homicides. Family loyalties clash with mob traditions when she speaks bluntly about her father ratting out Gotti in exchange for a 20-year sentence. Mob Daughter juxtaposes her experience of two fathers; one, the affectionate workaholic she knew at home; the other, the grim John Gotti underboss who would eventually become the highest ranking mob leader to testify against members of his crime family.
The story of her later years, complete with prison visits with her father, her criminal exploits, and newfound celebrity on a reality show, Mob Wives, is told with candor and swagger, befitting a daughter of Mafia royalty. The author’s worship of her father makes her views on the man read as somewhat delusional, especially considering his lengthy criminal history. The author’s writing style is keeping me interested in what it was like to be brought up by a Mafia crime boss. The book was better than I think I even expected it to be. Loved it!
