Love In the Shadows
“LOVE In the Shadows,” the final book of the Passaic River Trilogy, takes the reader from 1947 Newark through the dark shadows where mindless brutes of all classes preyed on the helpless. Women were fighting back and for the first-time muscular feminism was changing the world with Rosie the Riveter pumping her biceps on posters from coast-to-coast. Men were no longer the only ones using their fists. Four battered women panic the city’s elite when they enlist a mafia gangster to help exact vengeance on powerful men who escaped punishment despite years of brutal behavior.
