Forever: A Love Story. A Raid. An Arrest. Heartache. A Small Town Scandal. And a Journey of Self-Discovery
Everyone has a story. And, I am now ready to share mine. Maybe it will be more of a confession. As they say, confessions are good for the soul. If you want to know, it’s a few stories rolled into one...
A love story. A raid. An arrest. A small town scandal. Heartache. And a journey of self-discovery —finding faith along the way.
My lawyer, George Walker, shouted, “Romeo and Juliet couldn’t live without each other. So they ended up together. I suppose that’s romantic. Then they ended up dead —together. That’s not so romantic”. He screamed, “Wake up”, as he flailed his arms in the air. “Do you know how many times I’ve heard this story? He’s going to turn on you and throw you under the bus to get off his charges! The charges are serious. This was no Mickey Mouse operation. He’s accused of being one of the kingpins for a Mexican cartel!” But I pleaded with him... “I am telling the truth. He’s telling the truth.” George rolled his eyes. My father was sitting beside me, begging me to listen. As I sat there being lectured, it was as though my life went from a story book fairytale to a complete nightmare. I thought about how people search a lifetime for this kind of love. My love was real and I believed his was too.
Put yourself in my shoes. What would you do? You decide —after you read the story. The whole story.
Is he a con artist or is he telling the truth? The question is, who is he really?

3 stars.
I was curious about this memoir as it tells the story of a woman from my hometown who was, unknowingly, in a relationship with a man involved in a massive drug ring with a Mexican cartel. This case was big news in my area back in 2014. This book is the authors story showing how she was blindsided by the entire situation.
I found the book informative and interesting but it could have used a lot more editing. I enjoyed learning about this case but the writing didn’t flow smoothly and kept me from fully connecting.
I recommend to anyone looking to learn more about the Niagara Region “Project Roadmaster” drug ring bust.
