The Hand She Dealt to Me Kindle Edition

by Phyllis P. Colucci (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
2.8 out of 5 stars (15)
"The Hand She Dealt to Me" is a dialogue-driven, adult fiction novel, about family, love, romance, friendship, mystery, suspense, betrayal and fraud, with an ethnic slant and a hint of humor. The story revolves around Pauline (Lia) Roma, a happily married woman and mother, living in Brooklyn, New York with her husband Steven, a successful pharmacist, and her daughter Julia, an aspiring actress, whose life is turned upside down and inside out by an innocent encounter in the park with a mysterious female named Amira. This innocent encounter takes Lia on a life-changing journey that draws her into a world of the unknown; something she is so curious to dip into, yet so terrified to embrace. This constant battle to go either way sucks Lia into a world of new discovery, where she learns the importance of trust, the existence of deceit and betrayal, the support of friendship and family, and the power of love. "Danger" slowly introduces itself to Lia and her family as they all begin to fall deeper into its relentless grip. Their innocence and family values work against them, until the criminal aspect of that fateful encounter in the park turns their reality into their revenge.

    I enjoyed the story, buy with the style that it's written in...it's confusing to keep up with exactly who us speaking.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice "Chicken Soup" kind of story
    Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2013
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Nice story that warms your heart and feeds your soul--- like chicken soup. It is about an Italian family that brings back memories of foods, traditions and relationships from growing up with Brooklyn Italian relatives. What makes this more than chicken soup is the twists and intrigue that eventually add to the solving of crimes in the area. Great Story. Can't wait for more from this author!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good writing
    Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2014
    Format: Kindle
    The storyline was very good and it kept your interest. The way the conclusion was presented left the reader to make their own judgements as to how far and who actually was involved in this sinister plot. You were never really sure who the culprit/culprits were involved in these illegal actions. At one point I thought possibly, the good friend was maybe one of the conspirators. She was almost too good to be true. So I feel the writer succeeded in keeping the storyline suspense filled right till the end. Good job.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Kept me guessing!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2013
    Format: Kindle
    No one loves a little mystery more that I do, and this book delivered! With most books I can usually "figure out" and seem to know "what's really going on" well before the book ends. Not with this one! It was written in such a way that I felt as though I were watching a movie as my eyes scanned over the words! I must have changed my mind at least 3 times regarding all the intrigue before (happily) being wrong with trying to guess the ending after all! I also liked the fact that this book has the ability to make one want to keep reading, despite all the things in life that are constantly demanding our attention! Simply put, it's an enjoyable read and a welcomed escape from reality!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reminded me of family
    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2013
    Format: Kindle
    When I first started reading this book, I was pleasantly surprised by how many traditions and superstitions my family has in common with the characters in the book. It brought back great memories. I was enthralled with the book once I started reading and felt like I was part of the family. Wanting to know more. Wanting to help. I was drawn in from the very beginning. Can't wait for the next book by Phyllis Collucci.
