On the Run: A Mafia Childhood; Son and Daughter of "Wiseguy" Henry Hill
Warner Books, 2004. First edition. Unknown. First printing. Fine (rem. stripe bottom edge) in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 245 pp. Illustrated with photographs. Henry Hill, the mob figure who was the main character in the book "Wiseguy" and portrayed by Ray Liotta in the classic mob movie "Goodfellas", had two children, Gregg and Gina. When Hill flipped on the Mafia, testified against them and was put into the Witness Protection Program, they were ripped from their home, friends and extended family and began a nightmarish life on the run--constantly moving from town to town (often without warning), always knowing that their "Uncle Jimmy" and their father's former friends, wanted the Hills dead. All the while, Henry used his new identity to break the law and make new enemies, forcing the family to run again and again. Here Gina and Gregg tell their own stories of heartbreak, sacrifice and violence; Gina tried to see the best in her father, learned skills as an amateur actress, and finally uttered the unspeakable truth to her best friend; Gregg gave up a tennis career, stood up his first date because the family had to flee in the night, and finally, after near-fatal confrontations with Henry, had to flee for his life. Fine / fine. Item #E30685
