The King of Mulberry Street

In 1892, nine-year-old Dom embarks on a journey from Italy to America as a stowaway, equipped only with a pair of shoes gifted by his mother. Navigating the harsh realities of homeless children in Manhattan's Five Points, Dom learns essential street smarts and ultimately carves out his own success by starting a business. This engaging tale, inspired in part by the author’s grandfather, offers a vivid portrayal of resilience and ingenuity.
