Synopsis
Big Ang, the popular and voluptuous star of VH1’s hit series Mob Wives, delivers a collection of anecdotes on what she knows best: style, family, peace-keeping, and fried veal.VH1’s hit show Mob Wives follows six Staten Island women after their husbands or fathers are arrested and imprisoned for crimes connected to the Mafia. Since joining the show in the second season, Big Ang has become known and beloved for her raucous laughter, her size J-breasts, and her loyalty. She brightens every scene she’s in with her witticisms—and distinctive voice—and she always encourages the Mob Wives to get along with each other.
The New York Times calls her the “Den Mother” to the Mob Wives, and the truly likeable Big Ang views it as her duty to lead them. As she says, “I'm in my fifties, they are in their thirties. I’m going to teach them manners.” Filled to the brim with colorful anecdotes and her unique wisdom that she’s learned from running her bar, raising her kids, and dating made men, this entertaining and charming book demonstrates just why bigger is better.
