In
the Aldridge family, nothing’s off limits—no dream is too big, no
achievement is unreachable, and
there are no rules to hold anyone back. It’s 1980 in New Rochelle, New
York, and seventeen-year-old Shawn, the baby of the family, is a lost
soul trying to find his own way in the grit and grime of nearby New
York. As the rest of the family focuses on making
his violin prodigy sister famous and rescuing their cousin from a cult,
Shawn dates not one, but two girls—one a Times Square peep show dancer
and the other a virginal neighborhood girl. The series of mishaps and
mayhem leading up to his sister’s Carnegie
Hall concert will leave you gasping, laughing, and crying through the
very last action-packed line. Comical, whimsical, nostalgic, and raw,
Gypsies of New Rochelle highlights the well-meaning, but misguided
Aldridge family, a dumpster-diving band of twentieth-century
gypsies.
