"I just wrote book number 100-something. The title is, Leafs Addiction. Here are the reasons why I wrote it. I didn't understand my poor, illiterate, Italian immigrant parents. Dual meaning. They couldn't understand me. They were born in Italy. I was born in Canada. They spoke Broken Italian and Broken English. I spoke worse Italian but better English. I never understood who they were and where they came from. Growing up in the '60s, I knew they were different but I never understood the depth of how different they were, how different they had lived, how different they had survived, how different they worked, how different they fought, how different they sacrificed. I never understood what caused the Second Generation Conflict that started in the '60s, until my 60s.
