Cast Out by the Mob, My Whole Family Ascended

Selina spent her whole childhood convinced she belonged to the wealthy Moretti family, showered with love and privilege. When Isabella, the biological heiress, comes home, jealousy takes over. Through lies and manipulation, Isabella turns the Morettis against Selina, who is cast out and forced back to her real family's crumbling apartment in Brooklyn. What the Morettis never found out is the life Selina had been living in parallel: she trained under the renowned designer Lina, earned the admiration of a powerful mafia family and caught the devoted attention of Julian, the commissioner's son.

Facing her family's crushing medical debts and threats from loan sharks, Selina turns their situation around through determination and ingenuity. She draws on her family's hidden strengths (her mother's culinary gift, her father's business mind, her brother's remarkable memory and her sister's sharp eye) to build a thriving business. When Isabella tries to sabotage her again, each attack breaks against Selina's new foundation and her network of formidable allies.

Through her triumph, Selina proves that real power does not come from a name inherited at birth, but from the bonds forged in hardship and the success built with one's own hands.
