                                 and her life changes forever. Many years later her daughter
                                 Martha told her younger sister Cornelia, not only that she's to
                                 blame for their baby sister's death, but that their father wasn't
                                 the father of Cornelia. Bewildered and confused Cornelia sets

                                 Opinion: This book was really good. The characters were true
                                 to life and when the mom changed you couldn't believe it.
                                 However this book wasn't as historically acurrate as many of her
                                 other books.
