There's a Fredo in Every Family: How To Let Go

⸻ There's a Fredo in Every Family: A Street-Smart Look at Loyalty, Betrayal, and the Black Sheep in All of UsBy Michael Monaco We all know a Fredo. He's the sibling who just can't get it together. The cousin who always screws things up. The one who turns his back on the people who love him most-then plays the victim when the fallout hits. In this sharp, brutally honest, and darkly funny memoir-meets-manifesto, Michael Monaco dives headfirst into the role of "the Fredo" in families everywhere. Inspired by The Godfather's most infamous brother, There's a Fredo in Every Family explores the universal dynamics of dysfunction-jealousy, resentment, betrayal, and the twisted ways loyalty plays out across generations. Drawing from decades of real-life experience in mob-adjacent North Jersey kitchens and chaotic family tables, Monaco pulls no punches as he reveals the archetypes that exist in every clan: the martyr, the manipulator, the power-hungry, and of course, the Fredo. Whether you're looking to laugh, relate, or heal from your own family mess, this book doesn't offer therapy-it offers truth. Served straight, no chaser.
