The Heavenly Fugitive

The House of Winslow #27

by Gilbert Morris

While studying for his law degree, Phillip Winslow has found his niche working at Thornton Stables. His sister, Amelia, is still searching for something that will bring her happiness. Her rebellious nature, once kept in check by a desire to please her missionary parents, finally breaks free from those restraints. Against her family's wishes, she becomes a nightclub singer and dreams of making it on Broadway.

While Amelia has gangster Tony Morino's bodyguard to thank for jumpstarting her career, Phillip finds himself drawn to Tony's daughter. As both Winslows are pulled further and further into a dangerous underworld, everything they hold dear is threatened.

Reviews

[Rachel]

This series by Gilbert Morris is one of my absolute favorites. Each book follows at least one member of a generation in the Winslow family tree and the member(s) gets saved and finds true love. There's also some commentary on the social conditions of the time frame. Truly interesting.

Thanks

Another good episode in the House of Winslow saga. Always a few twists and turns, with a surprise or two. I never thought that I would read this many of the series. Now I just want to see what the next one is.

Amelia Winslow wants to act and perform for a living, but her big break doesn't meet her morals. She and brother Philip meet Rosa, daughter of a mob boss and a person who works for the mob.

Another book that includes mob connections but with an interesting twist.

Very good!

8 - The gangster part of this story kept the book interesting. It was sad when Dom got killed. The rescue at the end was heroic and everyone was happy and in love - Phil and Rosa and Ryan and Amelia.
