Pit of Ambition is the second volume of 5 in the family epic series The Caselli Family Series.

Five years have passed since Noah and Tillie’s “chance” meeting. They’ve married other people by now, and are both beginning their families.

​

In the pursuit of professional and political success, Alex runs headlong into a pit of pride and ambition...and Giuseppe begins to hate the husband he chose for his daughter.

Alex and Noah are doing business on many fronts, which will bring Noah to town for an unintended meeting with Giuseppe. Tension abounds as he attempts to conceal his daughter’s identity from Noah.

​

Alex strays when Tillie needs him the most, and it’s Noah who will bring him home. But, instead of learning Tillie’s identity, he connects with her brothers, especially Marquette.

Unbeknownst to Noah, his new foreman is a member of the crime family Marquette has sought since 1968.

Here is just a sample of what reviewers said about Pit of Ambition:

​

This book is about regrets, pride, ambition, choices and how they affect those around us. Guiseppi, Tillie's father is filled with regret when he sees how his daughter is being treated. Yet, now it is a little too late to do much about it and his faith in God is tested. How can God take this and work it out for good? — myseasonsofopportunities.blogspot.com

This is a touching story that could be about real people, their lives, their trials, and their joys. I can relate to several of the characters. We've all been there at some point in our lives. I'm really looking forward to book three! —Michelle Callahan, Goodreads Reviewer
