And now, my review:

This book is compiled of 9 wonderful, historical stories of life all over the United States.  The premise is intriguing.  I found these stories to be believable and each one has its own flavor of a story line.  It’s interesting how money can make some people go to some great lengths to keep it, even if it’s not really theirs…  And for the honest, it’s hard to keep what is yours when people try to take it for themselves, just for spite.  I highly recommend this read to you from Barbour Publishing.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
