Review: Gripping Read...
Rating: 5 out of 5

Book starts out right in the middle of the action. It's gripping and hooks you into "is it the main character trapped in the perilous situation or is she looking at a friend or loved one?" The pace starts out frantic.Author does a good job with timelines and jumping to important points in the story. The author describes a time in history very vividly and all the dogma and problems that went along with "going against the prevailing thought and ways of the day."During the birth scene I've never heard it described in this spectacular fashion. And of course the emotions the woman feels are foreign to a man but those felt by this character are completely unexpected.Mafia storylines, family ties and struggles, great loss and grief, along with the ultimate triumph of forgiveness (to the one who forgives) tie this book together. A powerful read.
