In my opinion, this is Lynn Austin's BEST book yet! The era, the story; stunning scene descriptions and a story so beautifully told. The character development is phenomenal! An intricately woven tale of three generations of Stanhope women, set in New York during the "Gilded Era". Two great loves, 2 great loves lost. So many "lessons". Junietta, Sylvia, and Adelaide work through grief (so realistically written!) Cont in comments

TheHeartlandBookFairy and change (never easy!) to find their future while honoring their past. I have 3 favorite quotes from this book, two of them have a very personal meaning to me: "The memories don't live in the house, they're in your heart.", "Death brings the end of so many dreams that we have for ourselves and our loved ones.", and "Love is a greater legacy to leave than wealth." .I was deeply touched by this story, the adversity, the injustice, the revelations, the growth, the enlightenment, the triumph. Lynn Austin, Thank you for this beautiful labor of love, the wonderful work of art!

Oh what a tangled web we weave,

though not in a purposeful attempt to deceive,

The secrets kept by grandmother and mother,

to protect their daughters, to protect others.
