Resumen del Editor

Three generations of women in one family must reckon with the choices they have made and their hopes for the future.

New York, 1898. The only thing more shocking than Arthur Stanhope III’s unexpected death is the revelation that his will bestows his company—and most of the vast fortune that goes with it—to the nearest male heir, leaving his mother, wife, and daughter nearly impoverished. His widow, Sylvia, quickly realizes she must set aside her grief to ensure their daughter, Adelaide, is launched into society as soon as the appropriate mourning period passes. If Sylvia can find a wealthy husband for Addy before anyone realizes they’re practically destitute, there will be little disruption to the lifestyle they’re accustomed to.

Sylvia’s mother-in-law, Junietta, believes their life could use a little disruption. She has watched Sylvia play her role as a society wife, as Junietta once did, despite what it cost them both. Junietta vows to give her granddaughter the power to choose a path beyond what society expects. But for Addy to have that chance, both mother and grandmother must first confront painful truths about their own choices. Only in bringing their secrets to light can they hope to reshape their family inheritance into a legacy more fulfilling than they ever dared dream.

Another well done story by Lynn Austin

The masterful storyteller Austin again succeeds. I loved the interwoven stories of the three main characters. Narration was also excellent. Well done. Highly recommend.

Great characterization of the people and the times at the close of the 19th century

I like how Austin brings her characters around to understand God‘s will and purpose for their lives, despite the societal constructs of the times. She does this without hitting you over the head with religion, but softly touches your heart, nonetheless. From her women, we can learn something about God’s mysterious providence in the lives of a Christian, and perhaps be encouraged to stand against the cultural leanings of our day.

Wonderful story! Great Narrator

Lynn Austin has done it again! The way she interweaves the lives of different generations is always spot on. I really love the characters in this book. And I love how Lynn Austin shows us all the different sides to her characters personalities. Narrator did a great job on this one as well. I was sad to see this book come to an end. It was so good I wanted more. Would love to see a book 2 this one.

Couldn’t turn it off!

Lots of twists and turns and I was here for it. Loved the story and narrators.

Transformed characters

Lynn Austin creates in depth characters and puts them through a transformation.
I loved the outstanding plot that has sadness but is not ruled by it. The woman are ones who persevere. Definitely worth “listening “ to.
