This Thing of Ours

I just finished reading This Thing of Ours, How Faith Saved my Mafia Marriage, by Cammy Franzes wherein she shares the details in a fascinating memoir about her marriage to a former mobster, Michael Franzese whom she met while dancing professionally in a movie he was producing, fell in love and married.  When she married him, she was young and naive and not really aware of the fact that he was involved in a Mafia family. She writes of the struggles and triumphs of enduring over eight years of Michael's incarceration and his parting of ways with the Mafia while raising their four children.

What Cammy Franzes has faced and lived to narrate would definitely have broken many a person. It shows her strength of character and the intensity of her faith. She is an inspiration for all. I enjoyed the book greatly and it at times brought tears to my eyes.
