Freefall

Estelle Prebilica, the daughter of devout Croatian immigrants, is desperate. She's abandoned the tenets of her strict, old-world upbringing to pursue a forbidden outsider, and now her husband is gone and her parents are dead. With no place to go, she turns to the person she hates most, her mother-in-law-the Madam of a thriving brothel. The na ve teenage mother stumbles headlong into a terrifying journey through the lurid world of organized crime-drugs, prostitution, and murder. Her escape drives her into the arms of the charismatic Jerry Bradley and finally the mysterious Frank Moretti, but is it rescue or a trap more dangerous than the one she left behind? As her life spirals out of control, Estelle drags her innocent children along with her. Can anything stop the fall?
