If you want to read a horror story about the impact of wiseguy life on children, you really have to read ON THE RUN: A Mafia Childhood , by Gregg and Gina Hill. It's about life in hiding after their famous father, Henry, testified against his friends. You'll come away with a much different picture than that of Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco. To me, not only was Henry a useless, drug addled thug, both he AND his wife were utter lowlives.
