Safe from the Past – Book Review

I don’t normally read non fiction books. No reason why, I just like a good mystery book. But I received Safe from the Past by Patricia Miller Mauro and really liked the book. The book is a story about a young girl who goes through the loss of a father, violence, poverty and has a dream of becoming something more. Through hard work and determination and a higher education she becomes the woman she wants to be.

It’s a not a long drawn out story. I was reading every chance I got to find out what happened next. It made me thankful for all the things I had growing up and have now to give my children. It’s amazing what some people can go through and still go on. Life can be rough, but you can change it!

A story of hope, faith and determination.

About the Patricia Miller Mauro:

Patricia worked in New York City’s financial district for thirteen years in the field of securities operations. At that time, she went on to obtain an MBA from New York University. She and her husband moved to Dallas, TX in 2001 where they are raising their two children.

During her time in NY, Patricia wrote an article entitled “A Tribute To My Mother” which was published in “The Recovery Journal” in 1999. Her book is a continuation of that tribute and serves to spread the message to those in similar situations that good news is on its way to children considering a higher education but who are afraid to dream.
