Cheryl Devenney, author
Carly, a 19-year-old California native, returns to upstate New York to visit her Italian American relatives of her deceased father. She’s quickly drawn into the continuing saga of her great grandmother Tina, her siblings, and her fiancé, Tommy.
With the depression on their heels, and the country fighting in World War II, Tina, Tommy, and others on the Homefront, support America’s troops by sacrificing their lifestyles and working to build up a powerful military force.
When the draft begins to grab male workers out the factories and other businesses, companies are forced to turn to women to fill their vacant jobs. As a result, Tina’s sister, Eva, and many others, get the chance of a lifetime to explore uncharted territory on land and in the sky.
But when the government challenges their immigrant families’ loyalty to America, it creates fear and havoc for Tina, Tommy, and the people they love.
Once again, Carly is enthralled by her ancestors’ stories, and she hates to leave her extended family. But when she returns home to California, her own life poses a staggering blow that she could’ve never seen coming!

A decades old cold murder case. A fed-up LAPD cop's wife. A fresh homicide. All collide amid a sea of blackmail and murder.
A 24 year-old unsolved murder case re-surfaces when Melanie, wife of the next chief of the L.A. Police Department, inherits her estranged father's seaside bar. She swore she'd never set foot in the place again after moving out. But decides to re-open the bar, hoping to reconcile her feelings of anger and guilt and regret toward her father.
Instead she is forced to confront those emotions again when her alluring bartender seduces her detective son and reveals a tie to Melanie's past. Soon after, a recent killing is linked to the cold case, setting Melanie and her son on a path to find the truth. But the story takes a different course and spins out of control...Forever changing their family's lives.
What a wonderful story ! I could not put the book down"
