Carmella Cimmino has had enough. For thirty years, she’s been battling the wild turkeys that have taken over her Staten Island neighborhood—and her front lawn. With a cigarette in one hand and her loyal pug Mr. Darcy by her side, Carmella delivers a hilariously unfiltered account of local government failure, nepotism at the butcher shop, and yuppies taking selfies with the enemy.
