Her paternal grandfather, Papa Treska, once owned Christies, a Boston diner known in Somerville as the hangout of reputed crime boss, Whitey Bulger, and the Winter Hill Gang. Her father, Phil, using his strolls through the neighborhood as a decoy, sold drugs for Whiteys operation, out of the stroller he pushed Nicole around in.</p><p>After the death of her paternal aunt, Nicolenow a writer, adjunct professor at City College, and waitress who rents out the second bedroom of her Harlem apartment to European tourists to make ends meetreturns to the town that afforded her family its street cred but has taken away everything else. Its in Boston that she reunites with her father and is reminded of why she left in the first place, but also why she returned. Its this ethos that grounds the book as we watch Nicole admirably hustle to afford not just the life she wants for herself, but one that includes her surviving family members.</p><p>If the American Dream means transcending ones circumstances at the expense of alienating ones sense of belonging, identity, and family, then <em>Wonderland: A Tale of Hustling Hard and Breaking Even</em> is the reality that resonates with those who believe success isnt achieved individually but realized communally.</p>...(*_*)9781797175935_<p><strong>A poignant memoir of growing up inside Bostons criminal underworldand breaking free.</strong></p><p>Nicole Treska was born to a family of gangsters.
