Mick Sinatra: The Harder They Fall - Plot & Excerpts
“They’re late,” Joey said. He and his siblings were seated in a large booth at a family restaurant waiting for Mick and Roz to arrive. All three were seated on one side of the booth, with Gloria in the middle. Joey looked at his watch. “They’re never on time for these so-called family dinners.” “Dad and Roz are very busy people,” Teddy said. “Sometimes busy people run late.” “That’s right, Teddy,” Joey said. “Keep making excuses for Dad. When he chain-whips your ass one of these days, I’ll bet you won’t be excusing him then.” Although Teddy dismissed Joey’s slight with a charming smile and a wave of the hand, Gloria looked at her younger brother. “What I don’t understand,” she said, “is why?” Joey looked at her. Like Teddy, Joey was white. But like Mick’s twins, Gloria was biracial black and white. And Mick’s oldest daughter. She and Mick seemed to have a growing bond Joey envied. “What do you mean why?” he asked her.
