'Tightrope' author to give reading

MILFORD — Steve Villano, author of "Tightrope: Balancing a Life Between Mario Cuomo and My Brother," will give a reading from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 10, at the Pâtisserie Fauchère, located at 403 Broad St. in Milford.
The book is the true story of two New York brothers who travelled dramatically different paths. Although author Steve Villano and his oldest brother, Michael, lived in two separate worlds, they shared love, loyalty, a sense of duty and personal sacrifice.
The author's lifelong quest to work in public service, partly as penance for his family's background with both the Genovese and Gambino crime organizations, became a precarious tightrope on which he struggled for years to find his balance.
