About this item
by Jennifer P. Bedsole (Author)
It's 1923 in Manhattan's Lower East Side, where a risky romance between a mistreated young woman and a boxer owned by the mob motivates self-discovery, loyalty toward passions, and a life-threatening struggle for freedom.
A mundane life is far from Angelina's only suffrage. Pitying the monster that once loved her as a daughter is just as much a captivity as his fist to her face. Fear locks her door; daring to dream is her key.
For fisherman Vincent, unsought ties with the world of organized crime have him boxing in a speakeasy notorious for its gambling on the fights. To maintain the security and success of his father's longtime fishing business and the well-being of everyone close to him, Vincent must remain enslaved to a ruthless and powerful mob leader.
Face to the Wind is a tender romance, a "jazz-age" journey that unfolds through the eyes of two young lovers with a timeless determination to be together.
