The first 200 pgs was a struggle, but the next 600-something enveloped me into a story of rags to riches; true love not to be had, then had and lost; family, devotion, and revenge. I can't wait to read the second one in the family saga.

Story of a young woman who starts her life broke,as an adult,has sucess.
