A riveting and moving tale of greed, lust and love. Set in the 1930's, it follows the paths of Zeb and Lizzie Richards, brother and sister from small town Melville to the bright lights and dangerous life in South Chicago.

This book is a gathering of my poetry and writings describing times in my life and explaining some of my familys hardship and turmoil. May God walk with you as you do the same. Richard and I went to high school together, over the years we had lost contact with each other until we found ourselves again on Facebook. I have read the poems that R. wrote. He sent me a copy a few years back so I could enjoy them. He really put his heart and soul in his writings. I cried thru so many of them. His work is like the history of family and friends that he has come to know. The expressions that come from his poems are meaningful and relate to events and people in his life. I had the chance of connecting with Richard and his wife Linda five years ago at our 40 year reunion. We had a blast. I wish the best of success for him. He is truly a great and cherished friend. Joyce Peters or as he calls me J. -Joyce Peters " Heartache, betrayal and unconditional love. Everyone has experienced these emotions; some more than others. These poems reflect each of these emotions and I have witnessed my dad live these poems out. I truly believe that this book of poems can help anyone work thru heartache and betrayal and learn how to use unconditional love to forgive. Katherine Goin, GA "
