UNDER THE SYCAMORES begins with Emilia remembering a time when she was completely free. This romance novel flows fast and inexorably like the calm waters of a river - but only on its surface. The author narrates marvelously, the apparent explosions of conflicting feelings from a woman (Emilia) trying to be fulfilled with her own life - then finding herself in need of love, fortuitously meets Nicholas - the destiny is the heartfelt love story of two "twin-souls" who share forbidden love and ultimately must find a way to life's own course. Emilia takes the steps down to the bottom of her heart, of her life and of all the lost passions... to find the courage to be true to herself. The book addresses important themes about how we all come to the fork in the road and wonder if we chose the right path. Or as the book so eloquently says. "Not who you are. What you've become. There's a difference. Who you are - belongs with me!" "A novel is always like a big "painting" of life. If Michael Perrotta were a painter, UNDER THE SYCAMORES would be a splendid neoclassical painting. One who knows all the thousand different hues of a woman's soul, is carefully offering every detail with love to those who worship nature with all their forms. Where fantasy ends and autobiographical aspects begin - the author doesn't reveal to us. But it's easy for the reader to acknowledge the great capacity Michael has in his welding them to perfection in this novel." - Dott. Giuseppe Sardini (Author) "...I love hearing what is in your heart, Emilia... Like a hungry lioness ripping the flesh off the cracked bones of her prey to feed her cub... You have so much courage... Much more than me."

This is a creative non-fiction book about the kidnapping of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh's twenty month-old son, Charles Jr. Using new information from Arthur Jones who served on death row with Bruno Richard Hauptmann, the man convicted and executed for the crime, this tragic event has been re-created. Jones claimed Hauptmann had him swear not to say anything about the kidnapping until after his death in 1936. For forty years, Jones attempted to disseminate the information but was unsuccessful in getting anyone to listen, including three New Jersey governors. Using this new information, this book re-creates the entire kidnapping. It also goes into great detail on Charles Lindbergh's strange personality and his role in the crime and investigation. Jones claimed the kidnapping was the work of a loosely organized ring of conspirators that included Hauptmann. A fascinating story, excellent imagery and well defined characters make this book a must read.
