Description
Book Synopsis: Two Jersey Brothers recounts the boyhoods of brothers Nick and Bob Finamore in the small, quiet, one-square-mile town of Haledon, New Jersey during the Depression and World War II eras. Their grandparents had emigrated from Fraine and Caserta, Italy, and, like most of their close family members, worked in the mills of neighboring Paterson, the "Silk City." In this vivid memoir they recall the colorful Haledon customers they served in their family's vintage Belmont Diner, and delve into the values of respect, discipline, and hard work they learned from their family.
