The Saints of Southside - Paperback

by A. T. Welker (Author)

Love. Sacrifice. Redemption.

What kind of person do you choose to be when doing the right thing costs you everything?

The Saints of Southside is a postwar family saga with the heart of an epic love story. Across war, organized crime, and decades of buried secrets, one family learns that love isn't measured by what you keep, but by what you're willing to sacrifice.

When fate brings Frankie and Ruby together, they find refuge in one another and fall madly in love. But love isn't always enough. As war, family loyalties, organized crime, and powerful enemies threaten to tear them apart, they must choose between duty and happiness - knowing that every decision will leave its mark on the people they love.

Rich with unforgettable characters, humor, heartbreak, and hope, The Saints of Southside is a sweeping historical novel about loyalty, and the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. This is a story of family, redemption, second chances, and discovering true strength and moxie aren't measured by the fights we win, but by the people we refuse to give up on.
