Summary

"Meet the Iacuzzos, an extraordinary Sicilian-American family, all gifted with remarkable psychic powers. In a 1950s working-class neighborhood of Buffalo, New York, their household was filled with neighbors seeking advice and children looking for thrills. While mother Mary Iacuzzo was yelling at women to stop hanging on to the husbands she "knew" were cheating, the kids were screaming and running from daughter Rosemary, who was delivering messages from dead relatives. Meanwhile, at father Andy's restaurant, customers profited from the infallible betting tips he seemed to draw out of thin air. Everyone marveled when brother Frank's prophetic dreams came true. Terry, the youngest daughter, acutely observed the details of everything and everyone around her, as she tried to ground herself against the tide of feelings and experiences of past, present, and future that swept over her simultaneously." "Small Mediums at Large is the true story of the family out of which sprang some of the country's most prominent psychics. It's also a tale of the psychedelic, spiritual, and sexual underground of 1960s and 1970s New York City, where a skeptical and irreverent Terry Iacuzzo encountered mystics, mediums, and a vibrant array of madcap characters." "Iacuzzo draws us into a world where any detail can be revelatory, even the way soapsuds fall on hands or ice cubes shift in a glass. In this tale, she reveals how she ultimately accepted and refined her unique gifts and became one of the country's most sought-after psychics."--BOOK JACKET.
