Unforgettable Novel!

An inspirational story of a woman's triumph facing incredible adversity at the turn of the 20th Century - great for any Italian descendants, New Yorkers/New Jersey natives. Includes multiple love stories, racial tension in society, organized crime, and general American history. A page turner that grows more suspenseful until the very last pages. Already purchased 3 more copies to give to friends.

Great Read!

Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I was able to relate to the characters and the plot. Very well written with reference pages. Highly recommend it.
