About this ebook
This is the tragic tale of a young man, the story of my father Francesco Cheech Caruso and his native country of Sicily. As the youngest of seven sons born to Pasqualina and Joseph Caruso of Caltagirone Sicily, the burden of managing the family business and farm fell to him over the protest of his older brothers. The chain of events that led him as a young man to leave all he knew to seek a new life in a country that he knew nothing about are compelling and life altering. The decision he made would always be regretted and never be reversed. He could never go home.
No one can.

BIOMy name is Dominic Caruso and at seventy-five years old. I am the youngest and sole surviving son of Francesco ‘Cheech” and Maria Caruso. I am a songwriter, inventor an artist and have completed a two year art course at the Professional Institute of Commercial Art at Reisterstown, Maryland at which I was an instructor following the completion of my training.In July of 2001 I completed the manuscript of “No More Tomorrows”. It is my hope to NMTs goes to movie and that I find a TV producer who feels as strongly about the proposed TV series called “Prohibition”, which is a spin off of the book. The TV series “Prohibition” takes place in the Roaring Twenties 1920-31 at Red Hook, Brooklyn New York and follows my father’s foot steps and associations from Brooklyn to Manhattan.
