From the Author BACKSTORY FROM THE AUTHOR:It has been an arduous journey. When I first came across the story of Nell Donnelly back in 2013, I found her kidnapping so compelling that I knew I had to do something with it. At the time, I had no idea if it would become a book or screenplay.As a reminder, Nell Donnelly was a self-made millionaire in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. She made her fortune by creating everyday dresses that had a bit of pizazz. At the time, the only dresses available for women were boxy, unflattering dresses for cleaning in, and glamorous dresses for a night out. She tapped into an underserved market and struck gold.Nelly was also ahead of her time as an employer. She hired over 1000 employees, mostly women. She made sure they were paid above-average wages, had paid leave, paid vacations, paid higher education and paid childcare. In fact, when the unions tried to come in and organized in her factory, they were unsuccessful. The employees had nothing to complain about.Her abduction came just before the Lindbergh Baby kidnapping, and after several other high-profile crimes.But what really sparked my interest was the involvement of a US Senator who moved heaven and earth to find her; even making deals with organized crime figures.Kidnappers, gangsters, organized crime, politics, all make for a fascinating story.Because my novel is based on a true story, I did quite a bit of research, which meant contacting the F.B.I, Prison Archive Records, and the like.For those of you interested, I've compiled original newspaper articles of the abduction, redacted F.B.I files and more.

I am extremely appreciative of all those who have taken the time to write a quick review here, or on Goodreads, or even a quick retweet in my direction (@PWilliamsMarks).Feel free to share this book with friends. Lots of friends.Thank you for being apart of this journey. You're amazing.

There is romance, action, intrigue, and a lot of interesting characters in this story. We even get a slow building romance toward the end of the novel between Nelly and Senator Reed that leaves the story hopeful. Paul makes an interesting and conflicted character who is self-centered and mean with a very contradictory personality. In one scene he goes from lamenting his missing wife and his love for her to a woman he is cheating on his wife with, then having sex with the woman, and then lamenting his wife again.A note, there is some graphic depictions of sexual activities in this novel. They aren't overly offensive or descriptive, but it definitely helps for people to understand that it is in there.The important thing about this story is that it is fiction with flavorings of the real event spread throughout. It is interesting and entertaining, but it's not meant to be a documentary. It's meant to use these people to tell the story of Nelly Don and her life, but not for the nitpicky types who want perfect details. if you go into this book looking for a fictional and entertaining story with a lot of interesting scenes and different story-telling elements, then this is an excellent read!
9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. American Woman's Adventure By ladyhawk I have both a digital version of this book and the paperback. I was impressed with the level of writing and storytelling of the author. That the story of Nelly Don is fascinating, and the book kicked it up a notch. The pacing of the story keeps you interested chapter after chapter, with each chapter ending with a mini-cliffhanger.I also like the postscript where we find out what happened to the real people after the story is done. Don't read the backend first! SPOILER ALERT!I never knew of Nelly Don, but am glad I discovered her and this book.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A Treat of a Book! By Customer It is amazing that such a wonderful woman such as Nelly Don, who in her own way advanced the women's cause, is not well known. Nelly proved in her time, that a woman could start a retail empire with her sewing machine and her kitchen table and break new ground in women's wear. Patrice Williams Marks does an excellent job of blending fact with fiction and a lot of suspense and action to bring us this entrancing tale. I will certainly read more of her books!
