A true story of two cousins, two choices-and two dramatically different destinies.

In this gripping 402-page biography and memoir, author JC Fabio takes readers deep into the gritty underbelly of New York City, tracing the rise and fall of his cousin "JC," a Yonkers man drawn into a world of organized crime, underground casinos, and deception. From the smoke-filled after-hours clubs of the Bronx to the hidden corners of the city, JC's journey is both mesmerizing and tragic-a cautionary tale of what happens when fast money and temptation win over conscience and faith.

But this isn't just JC's story. It's also Fabio's. Through vivid contrast, the author juxtaposes his own path of education, faith, and perseverance against his cousin's descent into chaos. Each chapter reveals not only the devastating cost of bad choices but also the quiet triumphs that come from discipline, humility, and grace.

Readers are pulled into a world few have seen firsthand-a dangerous, seductive New York filled with hustlers, gamblers, and dreamers. Along the way, familiar figures such as a Supreme Court Justice, a Former NY Attorney General and NYC Mayor, a comedian, a songwriter, a film producer, and Messianic Rabbi and New York Times Best Selling Author play surprising roles in this true-life drama.

Fabio's storytelling blends sophistication and streetwise honesty, turning outrageous real events into profound life lessons. With cinematic pacing and heartfelt reflection, he transforms a tale of vice and virtue into an unforgettable meditation on family, faith, and the power of choice.

This memoir reads like a crime thriller, revealing the hidden soul of a city through two unforgettable lives.

Choices matter. Choose wisely.

As readers take in the stories of [JC]'s shocking dealings with Irish gang members in New York City and his encounters with the law in the late 1960s and early '70s, it's easy to believe that these tales can't possibly be true-and, yet, they are.-Kirkus Reviews

[R]eaders interested in how and why two people from similar family backgrounds wind up in such contrasting circumstances will find insights in this Tale of Two Cousins.-Blue Ink Reviews

Part memoir, part personal biography, Ma, Your Son Is Crazy, Do Something! is about family, morality, and memory.-Foreword Reviews
