isn’t pretty. Neither is New Jersey. Especially in Cindy Rosmus’s fifteen tales of thieving mommies, inept hit
men, homicidal trannies, and dysfunctional adolescents trapped in pre-casino Atlantic City. Not nice people doing nasty stuff
that will turn and bite you back. This Jersey reeks of toxic waste and loss. This is a Jersey that Springsteen, himself, would
be scared to sing about. But these stories, from Yellow Mama's editor –Cindy Rosmus— you can’t help but
read.
