About this ebook

A handsome Italian film producer and a beautiful Mexican dancer. A match made on a movie set and a lavish Beverly Hills wedding. The beginning of Camille Franzese’s story takes on the shade of an exotic fairy tale. But a closer look at her marriage to mafia capo Michael Franzese exposes more than a decade of anguish endured in the shadows of her husband’s crimes. The fear of arrest, the prison sentences, the house raids from federal agents—Camille lived through it all, not knowing whether her family could remain unbroken amid the turmoil and uncertainty that accompanied her husband’s life of crime.

Discover how Camille’s devotion to her marriage and her faith in God’s larger plan led to deliverance from devastation. Hers is a story of choices, consequences, and the prayers that hold us up when everything around us is falling down.

The dream became a reality when she was hired to dance in a movie which was being produced by Michael Franzese. She eventually married him without knowing the full details of his past-a past that included his being a former member of the mob. Shortly after the birth of their first child, Michael is incarcerated and their lives change drastically. Cammy Franzese's memoir, This Thing of Ours: How Faith Saved My Mafia Marriage, is an in depth look into an unconventional marriage.Cammy writes that "I am eternally grateful to my mother for giving us the gift of faith. Her commitment to God, her children and her husband left a legacy for me to live by". Time and time again, the legacy gives her the resolve she needs to provide stability for their children while Michael is in prison. She acknowledges and accepts the choices she has made and because of her faith she honors her commitment to Michael. She details the difficulties she encountered while visiting Michael in prison. She endured the shock of being arrested herself. Every challenge placed before her makes her stronger.This is a story of faith,inspration and a belief in values. There is much to be learned about marriage and family by reading this book. I received this book free of charge from Booksneeze and I provide this review willingly.
