In the 1930's during the Great Depression if you were married with a family and a respectable job. Well, you were surely a winner back then. The Winner's Circle is a wedding band, a good marriage. Once someone exits the circle or breaks that trust. The band of love is broken, and you are no longer in the winner's circle of life!
Our story is set in the late 1930s in the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. Unfortunately, there was no love to go around while living in America during the Great Depression.
The name itself tells you how life was back then. The Great Depression was the most fragile time in America's history. Timing was the only thing on America's side during those dark and depressing days. If that era were ten years before or after, America would have been in the middle of a World War and very vulnerable to an attack or invasion! The timing of our story is at the end of the Great Depression, when all the major damage was already inflicted on American life.
If you were still alive and well in 1937, then you were one of the lucky ones! Imagine someone saying, "lucky to be alive" and the words "Great Depression" in the same sentence. Well, that is why Marie and Charlie, our main characters, are lucky to be alive.
Marie, an orphan at an early age, was raising her siblings while living in a convent when our story finds her. Charlie had a family but was an orphan from love and compassion within that family.
Being a part of something that is nothing leaves you with empty pockets in the 1930s. That is why Charlie always tried to be a winner and live a better life! But sometimes in life, we want something so badly we do not care what it takes, who we hurt, who we lose or who has to die!
Surviving two wars, the Great Depression, a horrible tragedy as a child, a toxic marriage, a mafia-infested city full of corruption, and living with a pack of nuns who raise you because you are an orphan. Well, you become really tough.
Marie, my hero (and soon to be yours), came from a loving family with hugs and kisses every day. She wanted to just recapture the warm feelings we all love when we hug someone we care about. The kiss from a spouse that can wipe away any pain or tear.
We all want to find love and be happy! Marie was no different, but love was not in the cards for her. So, she did what any wife, mother, sister, daughter, or Proud Irish Catholic American raised by the "Pink Sisters" would have done. She fought back!
