And she certainly didn't anticipate what would happen when he finally made the stunning decision to turn his back on "the life" and become a devout Christian. Now Cammy shares the details of her painful and joyful journey, including: How, as a Christian, she met and married Michael when he was an unbeliever and a high-profile mobster   The high life she lived in their first year of marriage when she had more money than she knew what to do with   What it was like being under law-enforcement scrutiny, dealing with death threats, harassment from the FBI, and having to move several times to protect their family   How she stayed faithful to Michael and raised their children on her own while he was locked up for eight years   Readers will learn why Cammy stayed in a marriage loaded with so much heartache and struggle. With painful honesty, she speaks about restoration, miracles, and the confidence we can have knowing God prepares us for the challenges and obstacles we will one day have to face. "--
