a
Catholic school that she was expelled
as an incorrigible. By the time she was
thirteen, she managed to wreck her mother's
automobile. A year later she ran away
from home with two neighborhood boys.
Seeking shelter in an unoccupied house,
they managed to do sufficient damage to
cost her parents a fortune in repairs.
By
sixteen she was considered the most beautifu
girl in the area and an early affair resulted
in an unwanted pregnancy, forcing her
to give away her infant daughter. From
there on Terri's life was a roller-coaster
ride through affairs, marriages, a career
as a saloon keeper and a foray into crime
that ended in a prison sentence. Along
the way she witnessed two murders, had
other children and became addicted to
heroin.
Today
Terri lives alone in New York City where
she contemplates her past and views the
future.
With
her collaborator, Patrick Picciarelli,
Terri has written a startlingly colorful
memoir. Her story will hook you from start
to finish.
PATRICK
PICCIARELLI, a longtime officer in the
New York City Police Department, retired
in 1988 to start his own private investigating
firm. His first true crime writing was
the well received book Jimmy the Wags,
a sequel to which, Jimmy the Wags: My
Life in the NYPD , was recently published.
He is also the author of the novel Bloodshot
Eyes. He calls his work with Terri Dee
a "learning experience."
