This Was The Book Of The Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                               Who would have thought a novel combining minor league football, and the Mob would make my Book Of The Year choice.  Though these topics really do not interest me, De La Pava's novel is so compelling in its sweep, scope and sense of family that it had me glued to my chair.   I picked it up with trepidation; I finished it as a fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                  Don't miss this one, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
