Goodreads Member/Reviewer: Dec 7, 2015 Melinda - it was ok 2 of 5 stars Usually in these old harley's the man is at fault when there is a secret baby plot. He either marries another woman or deserts the woman and doesn't leave a way for her to reach him. Then there is the plot with a third party interfering. This one was different. The mother made the decision without giving the dad a chance to step up to the plate. He wasn't a bad guy, he loved her and was faithful to their relationship. He came home from a mission and found her gone. She thought that his job would always come first so she hightailed it out of there and went home and married another man. The poor man she married had to suffer knowing she loved the other man. The author knocks the husband off early in the book to make way for the baby daddy.--goodreads

This City Council investigation finds the MTA is a bad neighbor for many people whose homes neighbor MTA tracks and stations. If it were a private property owner, the MTA would be punished with fines for its dirty, poorly maintained properties that attract illegal dumping, graffiti and littering. Most of the properties surveyed adjacent to or underneath aboveground subway, Metro-North, or Long Island Rail Road tracks and stations were found to be poorly maintained and unclean.
