Gemini Joe: Memoirs of Brooklyn

Joe was a man of dualities. At the bar, "Gemini Joe" was the life of the party-charismatic, quick-witted, and impossible to ignore. But at home, the laughter disappeared, replaced by the crack of a bottle of scotch that set chaos in motion. His children hid at the top of the stairs, listening to the battles below, waiting for the storm to pass.

Behind the turmoil was a man of surprising creativity-poems scrawled in notebooks, intricate sketches, and even an invention: a toothpaste cap designed to stay on the tube. Yet, his genius remained unrealized, eclipsed by his struggle with alcohol. When the fight became too much, Joe walked away from his wife and children, leaving them with scars and unanswered questions.

Years later, a letter arrived. In it, a poem that stirred his estranged daughter's curiosity. Who was this man, really? Determined to uncover the truth, she asked him to tell her his story, setting the stage for a journey into a past both heartbreaking and profound.
