One of the best stories I’ve read in a long time.
James Heathe writes in a very descriptive and eloquent manner that pulls you into the story in a way that you can relate to the emotions of every character. I did t want to put it down!"

"I absolutely loved the book and highly recommend it. The story grabs you from the start and keeps your attention to the very end. Great storyline and awesome characters wrapped in suspense and family dynamics. The author even brings the nuisances of Boston Ma and Youngstown Oh to life,
I couldn’t believe it’s his first book.
A must read!"
