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. Camille Franzese’s story begins like 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 would survive the turmoil and uncertainty that accompanied her husband’s life of crime. But Camille’s devotion to her marriage and her faith in God’s plan led her to deliverance from devastation. In This Thing of Ours, she recounts a remarkable story of choices, consequences, and the prayers that hold us up when everything around us is falling down.
Cammy Franzese
Cammy Franzese is a devout Christian who played a major role in her infamous husband’s decision to walk away from his former life as a capo in the mob. Against nearly insurmountable odds, she and Michael sustained a healthy marriage and raised four beautiful children.

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".

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.
