Program Description

Event Details

Join author Maria Palmer for a discussion of her debut narrative nonfiction book On The Rocks: The Primadonna Story.  

On the Rocks chronicles the real-life journey of restauranteur Joseph Costanzo, Jr., from his rise to success in the 1990s as owner of the highly acclaimed Primadonna Restaurant in McKees Rocks, radio host, entrepreneur, columnist, and aspiring politician to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in an investigation and a stint in federal prison. Costanzo is a complex character whom readers will admire for his confidence and rebuke for his arrogance, will love for his generosity and despise for his egotism, and will learn from both his attention to detail and lack thereof. 

Books will be available for purchase and signing.
