To Right All Wrongs description:
|
|
|
It's 1919 and a very naive seventeen year old, Laureen O'Brian, disillusioned with her tedious country life in Ireland, immigrates to America united by a shipboard marriage to Jock Sandowski, a ruthless Polish transient. Despite his fantastic promises of wealth and happiness, the couple becomes lost among the turbulent, cruel streets of New York City. Amid a world at war, and through the Great Depression years, they struggle to raise a family while deeply immersed in poverty and despair. A brutal murder makes society headlines, strong bonds are broken, and an emotionally damaged young detective discovers the true meaning of life. This is a stirring saga of two families--one affluent, one impoverished--and the ties that interweave their lives together. It is a story of deceit, forgiveness, powerful family devotion spanning thirty years--and finding peace throughout it all.

| Rebecca Madden, Delaware: | | ***** This book had a little bit of everything in it that I look for--history, captivating hardships, and the true meaning of family and loyalty. With every chapter and every page it kept drawing you into the lives of the families until you felt like you really knew them personally. A great novel, a fast read--I literally couldn't put it down. A must have book! |
| Shirley Johnson- Senior reviewer Mid-West Book Review: | | ***** My first words about this book; absolutely compelling and unforgetable. It is the story of those whose lives are intertwined due to a tragedy. The story is bittersweet as the author takes us back in time as a young immigrant couple leaves Ireland to seek their future in America. In this work you will be amazed at the heroine's faith, love of family, and courage that sustains her and finally brings her peace. This saga has deep emotional stirrings, romance, deceit, loyalty, murder, suspense, love, hate and some of the most interesting characters I've met in a long time. I was truly moved by this story and can honestly give this book a high recommendation. Well done, Ms. Dennis--truly a pure reading enjoyment! |
| Billy Wroten, Vienna, MD: | | ***** I throughly enjoyed this book. Ms. Dennis writes from the heart. The characters are engaging; the setting is rich with details that makes the story really come alive. I am waiting for the sequel so I can find out more about this family. A truly wonderful book you'll pass along to all your friends. |
