A family's legacy is forever changed in this true story of ransom notes, stowaways, and mobsters.
Paris, 1929. Gaetano "Guy" DeSantis is an Italian emigrant with a good life: a stable construction job, a comfortable place to live, and a blossoming relationship with a young waitress, Marie. But Guy dreams of making a future in America, alongside his cousin Frank who immigrated a few years earlier.
So when a mysterious stranger shows up at Guy's door saying that Frank has paid for a boat ride across the Atlantic, how could Guy refuse? But there's a catch--he must leave immediately, with no bags and no goodbyes.
With a heart of gold--and the suspense of a classic crime novel--this true story memorializes one man's split-second decision to chart a new course for generations to come, proving that courage and honor do have the power to make a better life.
