Boston Accent - The novel - read by author Mark Mattioli - pt 1 - Introduction

Nino Barchi, born to a single mother in the 50's, grows up in the suburbs of Boston where he follows a path of addiction that was previously followed by his father; a man he never met. In his early 20's he journeys to the West Coast, the place of his birth, in an attempt to leave his many demons and the mistakes he has made behind him. Nino settles in Lake Tahoe, a paradise like nothing he has ever seen, full of more temptations than he could ever imagine. His addictions which have been struggling to reach the surface are released in frenzy as he lives for excess in everything he does. Will Nino accept his spiral out of control as his destiny or will he try to save himself and avoid what took his father's life at age 43. He needs to be a decision while living is still an option.
