"[Five-Finger Discount] will steal your heart." -People "By turns hilarious and alarming, uproarious and depressing, [stapinski's] book reads on the surface like something by Damon Runyon and Elmore Leonard, with a dark undertow of real-life pain and disillusion." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "It's a brilliant book, a darling book. It is the blessedly modest chronicle of a magical consciousness that seems to have been born pulling diamonds out of the muck, hearing angels' voices in the fiercest thunder....I adored every word of this wondrous book. Get it. Read it." -Michael Pakenham, Baltimore Sun "In the tradition of...Rita Mae Brown and Amy Tan, Ms. Stapinski is an exciting writer, unabashedly candid, and at the same time unashamedly self-contained. Five-Finger Discount is a must-read." -Victoria Gotti, The New York Observer "What [Frank] McCourt did for Limerick, Ireland, Helene Stapinski does for Jersey City." -Newark Sunday Star-Ledger "Hugely entertaining." -London Sunday Times

Synopsis
Now a PBS documentary, this astonishing memoir of growing up in rough-and-tumble Jersey City "will steal your heart" ( People ) With deadpan humor and obvious affection, Five-Finger Discount recounts the story of an unforgettable New Jersey family of swindlers, bookies, embezzlers, and mobster-wannabes. In the memoir Mary Karr calls "a page-turner," Helene Stapinski ingeniously weaves the checkered history of her hometown of Jersey City--a place known for its political corruption and industrial blight--with the tales that have swirled around her relatives for decades. Navigating a childhood of toxic waste and tough love, Stapinski tells an extraordinary tale at once heartbreaking and hysterically funny.
