Publisher's Synopsis
England, 1941: With the Luftwaffe raging overhead and deafening explosions all around her, a young, terrified, Spanish Gypsy girl leaps from a window into the night. She is propelled through the bloody, war-torn streets of Plymouth, England, by the Gypsy fire that burns within her soul. Copper Tapestry is the timeless saga of Isabella Juarez, spanning two continents during the years of 1939 to 1973. She is struggling with an obstacle so daunting, that she is forced to make uncharacteristic decisions, manipulating her enemy, mob boss, Angelo DiGrazio. He is "il Capo" with his own agenda, protecting himself, no matter the price. An unfair fight begins with Angelo's network, rules, and cover-ups. Isabella seems destined to live a life of compromise and tragedy. A chain of events unravels the twisted mystery as dark and deadly as the back roads of southern Italy where the last dark secret is revealed, the last tapestry thread is woven. Lives are lost and forever altered. Two very unlikely cultures clash in a stubborn battle of wills. Accurate historical facts blend with conflict and the consequences of decisions made in the face of war and blackmail. Lifelong bonds are woven between people with very different lives, yet all with one common goal.
