Reseña del libro "Innocence and Trust Lost (en Inglés)"
Adult: Explicit Love Making in the Love Stories. The author tells a touching, heart rending, remarkable story of her thin, tall, beautiful heroine, Stefania Czarnowska based on the true story of her grandmother. The journey begins when she is eighteen years old in May of 1901 and arrives on the Fells Point Pier in America alone from Poland with a baby boy, Stanislaw. She is sponsored by a friend to come to this small town in America. It is home to many Polish Americans and is booming with commerce. Its deep water docks are deeper than the docks on Pratt Street of downtown Baltimore City and are ideal for foreign trade. Baltimore City's great fire burned the Pratt Street docks and headed for Fells Point, causing concern for its residents. Then there is a flashback into Stefania's two prior years in Poland where there is great joy and sadness in her life. Kaiser Wilhelm, II's armies ran raids along the south western border of Poland (Note not in book: Silesia was returned to Poland in an Agreement at Yalta after World War II). The author returns to her compelling story of her heroine's life in America, arousing all of your emotions of love and passion, joy and laughter, tragedy and sadness. Stefania's fear as a mother, as her only son enlists in the Navy in World War I, is exacerbated when she is unable to convince him otherwise. The heroine is strong, stoic, undaunted, and resolute in handling all the twists and turns life brings her way, facing them head on with her quiet tears, not allowing them to take away her peace and happiness. In the book you'll get to meet Jozef Kozlowski, a hard working stevedore, who deeply falls in love and has forbidden passions for the object of his love, adoring a woman who could never truly be his. You'll also get to know Stefania's neighbor, Mrs. Emma Norwicki, whose mind is twisted with evil thoughts that she acts upon from relentless hatred and envy of Stephania's great beauty. Then history seems to repeat itself in the lifestyle, dynamics, character, strong spiritual depth, romantic love and passion of her granddaughter, Gabriella Patrizi, who is like her in her looks and her personality. In meeting Gabriella, the author takes you to a Fashion Buyer's Party in New York City where she is the guest of her best friend Anita Jenkins, who is a Fashion Buyer for a large department store. At the party, Gabriella meets the handsome, Mike Callahan, who is a guest of his uncle who owns dress factories and hotels. Even though Mike lives near Gabriella while attending Hopkins in Baltimore, he's a New Yorker from a family of Investment Bankers. A sequel will be coming shortly wherein Stefania's granddaughter, Gabriella Patrizi, is the heroine who becomes a lawyer and volunteers with a political think tank.
