A warm-hearted and gripping saga, from the author of The Factory Girl and A Girl in Wartime

Ratings and reviews

The cover of the book reads, she'll do anything to protect her child. Maybe I need to read the book again, because the child was such a minimal part of the book. Unless you count having an affair on the same bed as your child as protecting them.
