La Mesa, Calif., Dec. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — \u201cThe Consigliere, a Novel: A Mafia Lawyer’s Quest to Choose Love over Revenge\u201d by Donna Masotto tells the story of a mafia lawyer, Declan Quinn, who has dealt with the worst of the worst \u2014 men with nothing to lose and everything to gain by breaking the rules. After the tragic death of his eight-year-old daughter, he believed God had punished him for living a life of crime. The start of Declan\u2019s journey out of depression and grief began when he informed the mafia Don he was abandoning his post of 30 years. In the mafia, no one leaves alive, and the Consigliere to the Don is no different than anyone else. Declan uses the tools of love, forgiveness, and courage as he tries to overcome life\u2019s inevitable challenges brought about by the past that haunts him\u2014and hunts him down.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Born into an Italian American family with a close familiarity to the mafia in Brooklyn, New York, Ms. Masotto\u2019s writing is inspired by her first-hand account of the mob\u2019s infiltration in her community. Her viewpoint of the mafia is real, raw, and dirty, yet, true and bold. Her perspective provides readers an insider’s view of life within the mafia that has never been told before. Crime is not glamorized in her work \u2014 the truth is.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe author allows the religious, albeit spiritual, to intermingle with the mundane, exploring human nature from quite unique angles. It\u2019s a story of man\u2019s journey back to himself, but it is also a story of love that liberates from within,\u201d said Romuald Dzemo for Readers\u2019 Favorite.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through descriptive storytelling and riveting storylines, Masotto has created an experience that readers can plunge into and consume.
