'Fun, fierce, and fabulous. The Godmother asks women to find their power-and use it!'-KIRSTEN MILLER, New York Times bestselling author of The Change 'Masterfully told...The Godmother is as hard to put down as the similarly titled novel it subtly references.'-SALVADOR PASKOWITZ, Screenwriter, The Age of Adaline 'The [...] lush setting and magical elements make it perfect for fans of Frances Mayes and Alice Hoffman.'-CHRISTOPHER CASTELLANI, author of Leading Men Transporting readers to enchanting Sicily, The Godmother explores the search for identity, the nature of inheritance, and the unbreakable bonds between women.  Raffi Truvarizzi is the most formidable woman in Miami. Leveraging her notorious Sicilian surname, she became the Godmother-a fixer for women in need. Behind her enigmatic exterior, she is haunted by her mother’s disappearance and a lifelong question: is she or is she not related to the deadliest mafioso in history? When the death of her mentor sends Raffi on a surprise trip to Sicily with a young Cuban psychic, the unlikely friends find a glittering island of sumptuous tastes, brooding volcanoes, and ancient mysteries. But when a shocking event brings Raffi to her knees, she is forced to confront the truth of her lineage and the unintended consequences of who she has become. Against the lush backdrop of Sicily, The Godmother is an eclectic journey into the worlds of Sicilian legend, Mafia lore, jazz, tarot, witchcraft, and telenovelas-all within a story that celebrates the search for self and the healing magic of female friendships.
