Crime Beat is delighted to announce the appearance of Karen Gravano, star of the hit VH1 reality show, Mob Wives this Thursday, June 14, 2012 at 8 pm EST. In her 'best-selling' book titled 'Mob Daughter: The Mafia, Sammy 'the Bull' Gravano and Me' comes a revealing memoir of a mafia childhood, where love and family come hand-in-hand with murder. This 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. Make sure you mark it on your calendar, where you will have a front row seat to this fascinating story.
