"Do You have A Dream?” Joey’s soulful doo-wop voice is his ticket out of Brooklyn and the key to a better life for his Mexican-Italian immigrant family and his high school lover, Connie. But chasing stardom in the mid-century music industry quickly turns dangerous as Joey is trapped between the unwritten rules of his block, a jealous best friend, the ruthless mafia, and the hollow promises of the American Dream. Inspired by true events, this gripping novel draws from the dark, real history of the mob’s systemic stranglehold over independent record labels and the explosive 1959 congressional Payola corruption investigations.
