Michael Franzese and Camille Garcia met while she was a dancer in a movie he was producing. Raised by a very devoted Christian mother, Cammy\u2019s faith in God was made real to her through the trials she went through as her husband was imprisoned twice. The book, \u201cThis Thing of Ours\u201d gives details of how she raised four children while remaining a loving wife to Michael. Her prayers and influence brought her husband to change and quit his life of crime. She is very honest and candid in talking about her own failings, as well as the troubles with their children that resulted from Michael\u2019s past. She gives very good marriage advice and her emphasis on prayer is very inspirational.<\/p>\n

It would probably make more sense to read Cammy\u2019s husband\u2019s testimony first, \u201cBlood Covenant\u201d, to know the background. Without an understanding of Michael\u2019s true mafia involvement, you cannot appreciate what Cammy went through because this book does not give much information about the mafia involvement. Her story seems very tame, but of course, this is her story, not his, and she was spared from the any mafia activity.<\/p>\n
