I found The Twenty Horns to be a fascinating read. As the son of an Italian imigrant, my Mother (who lived in Boston when first coming to the US), would talk about the obstacles she and her family faced. I was reminded of this when reading this piece. This story would make a great movie!

Excellent story surrounding a benevolent secret society bent of assisting others sharing a common Calabrese heritage. As the founder and managing director of an organization devoted to the Italian region of Calabria, I find this especially interesting. Mr. Froio, of Calabrese ethnicity himself, has spun a great tale--one which begs for a sequel.
Il Circolo Calabrese (http://www.circolocalabrese.org) has placed this book on its list of "Must-reads".
Highly recommended!!

I think that Salvatore Robert Froio is a very talented writer and I look forward to reading more of his books.
