Welcome to Litsy!

A well-researched book about a branch of the mafia brought down due to the bravery of 4 women. The clan was particularly violent & expected allegiance & silence. Three women, wishing better lives for their children, at great personal peril, provide information to the state. The prosecutor, again at personal peril, works to bring the mafia to trial. The details on the finances of the mafia was equally fascinating. Their reach is international.

I‘m about to start reading this book and I‘m a little sad there are three options for the book to select on Litsy. Sometimes being able to add books on your own creates this type of issue. Oh well. There are bigger issues to be solved than this. 😁

This book started off a little slow to me. Then there are like two or three different stories that go back and forth so it confused me a little at the beginning as well. But overall, I would definitely recommend it.

Today has been such an amazing day! I've read almost all of The Good Mothers AND I finally got the soldier that I am going to support from AAUSS today! I'm super excited to hear back from the soldier and send out the packages that I'm planning for them.

It's my day off so I'm still in pajamas even though it's noon. Getting a good chunk of this book done today along with a big pot of coffee ❤

Finished this on the flight home from San Francisco. What an incredible piece of investigative journalism! This is a story of four women - 1 prosecutor and 3 witnesses - who were instrumental in bringing down the Calabrian mob. I loved the twists and turns in the cases, the high stakes and the family drama. It‘s a true story about strong and brave women. What an incredible story! Hashtag girl power!

Today‘s subway read - this fascinating book about the Calabrian mafia. As an Italian-American I love how it completely strips away any romanticism of the mob. Also, the heroes are women! Yeah!
