Raised By Wolves is an autobiographical diary, chronicling the development of a gifted young boy, born to homicidal parents, and raised as a ghetto prince in an environment replete with criminal influence-the heroin soaked streets of 1970's Harlem. Cavario began his career in the fall of 1980 at the age of 13, selling powder cocaine in $25, $50 and $100 denominations, networking in the city's hottest discos. From Disco Fever in the South Bronx; world renown as the backdrop for the iconic Hip-Hop film, "Krush Groove," to the Red Parrot in Manhattan, and the historical, mega-club, BOND'S which once stood in the center of New York's Times Square. At 15 Cavario began running his family's heroin shooting gallery in his 115th Street neighborhood on Harlem's infamous West Side. By the early 80's the streets of America were beginning to change due to the rapid popularity of Freebase. In 1982 Cavario was introduced to the process of cooking cocaine by a heroin snorting, cocaine smoking, old hustler named T. who was managing the packages moving through the gallery. Cavario's best friend Trevor Clark, a working class WASP from Manhattan's Upper West-Side, was on the team as well and the combination of these clashing cultures made for interesting antics on more than a few occasions. Like the time a customer offered "King Trev" the remainder of his heroin shot as he withdrew the syringe from his testicles. Cavario has emerged alive, healthy and free after nearly eighteen years of hardcore hustling, in notorious US cities like Harlem, New York, the South Bronx, and the infamous South Jamaica section of Queens, as well as Baltimore MD, Washington D.C., Bridgeport CT, Richmond VA, Charlottesville VA, Winston-Salem NC, Highpoint NC, Greensboro NC, Durham NC, Raleigh NC, and Charlotte NC. Raised By Wolves is not just a story of violence and drugs but an honest and in-depth journey into the mind and motives of a genetically engineered gangster and his spiritual struggle to move beyond the only world he has ever known.
