It is DeFranco's own way to keep the old custom alive and give the younger generation an idea as to the way life was then growing up in the sixties in a butcher shop. This volume revolves around the stories of growing up in an Italian American family that owned a business and the lessons his immigrant Grandparents taught him about love, family, business and community.

The DeFranco business started in 1926 by Philip and Teodora DeFranco. At that time, the business was an Italian grocery store and butcher shop. After their retirement in 1976, they gave the business to their son Martin DeFranco who moved the shop from Roseto to West Bangor Road, Bangor, PA where the business is today. In 1989, Joseph took over the family business and continues to compliment the fine quality of meat which his family once sold. Today, Joe has made the company grow into a seven day a week business with catering services available anytime.
