Sofia's Tune

By Cindy Thomson

Description:

In Sofia's Tune, we meet Sofia Falcone, a young woman who has been living in New York only a short time when she is stunned to discover a family secret, one that soon sends her beloved mother into a mental institution. Scrambling to keep her job and care for her mother, Sofia is convinced confronting the past will heal all wounds, but her old world Italian family wants to keep the past in the past.

During this time, she encounters Antonio, a Vaudeville pianist with a street-smart dog, seeking to discover why his father was mysteriously killed. Their crossed paths uncover a frightening underworld in Little Italy. Bringing the truth to light may cost Sofia's mother's sanity, Antonio's career, and the livelihoods of countless immigrants. Change is on the horizon, but it may not bring what they expect.

Book Takeaway:

God is often speaking to us, but even when we believe that, we may have trouble listening. No matter what upheaval our earthly families may bring us, we can always trust that our Heavenly Father is listening and watching over us.

Why the author wrote this book:

Families, and the way different people define them, has always interested me. What happens when trust is broken? How do you start over? I think this was an issue many early 20th century immigrants faced. The time period fascinates me, and I'm happy to have this final book in the series available to readers.
