Being Romeo's Daughter

New York City in the 1920s and 30s...weren''t nobody who didn''t fear the name Romello. Romeo was a true hero to some, but a nightmare to others. I was always caught somewhere in between. Me, Cece Romello, the lovechild of a mafia kingpin and a colored jazz singer from Harlem, passin'' as full-blooded Italian when I were really just half. Being Romeo''s daughter meant I had to be tough as a guy and they''d think I wasn''t cause I weren''t no man, but I were the manliest dame on them streets apart from lookin''! This ain''t no fairytale story if ya came lookin'' for one. It''s the truth as far as I lived it, learnin'' the hard way bout'' love and lust, fame and infamy, but most of all...that nobody could ever run from Romeo Romello, especially not his daughter!
