Torn Apart By Those You Love

Book excerpt: Torn Apart by Those You Love is a compulsive epic tale of two families that takes us through their immigration from Galicia, Poland, to America, their relationships, their revenge and the pursuit of their American dream. It is a story of hope, of resolve, and of digging deeper into their thought processes to find the strength to carry on in any adversity. Their attitudes will cloud your vision, and you will observe and eventually realize that people, even family, will use and abuse you either verbally or physically. My father stole my mother from me and then tried to steal my life. You will learn to be bold, be brave, and be true to yourself. You will be able to decide what path you want to take and then set one foot in front of the other. You have the power to create your own destiny. Taking risks were my biggest rewards.
