From Brooklyn and Back Again: A Memoir

From by-gone Brooklyn to high-powered Manhattan, to Chicago, Lisa Racioppo weaves a provocative tale of one woman stepping over the neighborhood boundaries to build her truth on the rock solid foundation of Brooklyn moxie.

Lisa conveys the essence of being from Brooklyn: to know what it means to say, "What Happens in the Slope, stays in the Slope," and to learn to always pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Lisa provides snapshots of how living on the block taught her how to live in the world. But more than that, she demonstrates how coming from a humble past can be a strength and asset when you approach life with humor, an open heart, and a determination to succeed.
