Had to wipe a tear at the end of this one! Lavinia becomes an orphan on passage from Ireland to the United States back in the 1700's. A plantation owner brings her back home with him, and she is thrust among all the slaves that work for him. They raise her, and she is part of their family, more so than his. I did end up drawing up a family tree at first, because there were a lot of characters in this book. They all were well written and had their own story. Boy, would I love to cast this movie!!
