Family Matters

“Does the Mafia take care of its own? A romance gone astray gets set straight…”
- Pamela Paige, former editor, Florida Times Union

“A goosebumpy memoir about a bad marriage that gets a little nudge from a favorite uncle, making this a Family Matter (if you know what I mean)…”
- H.L. Osterman, Short Changed

Based on the true story of a naïve young woman who falls victim to the charms of a smart, handsome and sexy college boy who becomes her abusive (but addictive) husband, this is a romance gone bad. Only through the unwanted efforts of her overly protective family and their questionable connections does she find freedom, independence and eventually love.
