One of Plains' best. Jennie Rakowsky's dreams were coming true until the secret she had hidden for 19 years threatened to destroy it all. From growing up the child of impoverished Holocaust survivors to discovering the glittering, exclusive world of America's Jewish aristocracy she had learned what heritage and family meant. Now she has to discover the values that went deeper still and the ties that entwine the heart with the richest love of all.

The movie Blessings was based upon this novel. Belva Plain is one of my favorite authors, and she writes an interesting story from the heart. Good relationships are shown, not just described.
