I give 5/5 This story starts with the disaster of the Titanic where lots of people died . May was a third class traveler with her husband Joe and their child Ellen . Celeste was a first class traveler and she was coming back from burring her mother in England .She was on her way back to the USA in Akron where lives her husband Grover and her son Roddy (Roderick ) Celeste has been the first on the lifeboat and then they rescued May .Celeste tries to help May as much as she could to help her survive ..Suddenly the captain of the boat gives a baby to May thinking it was hers .May at first didn’t see it wasn’t hers .. Arriving on the safety boat ; May discovered it wasn’t her lovely daughter but kept it for herself . Celeste promised to be on her side until she decides what to do with her life . Angelo was waiting in New York for his wife and daughter .The only thing she found was her daughter’s shoe from a special handmade from Italy where he comes from .. So we will follow those 3 characters and their family living all along the book especially after the sinking of the boat and during the 2 world wars . How will they live after such a disaster ? How will the friendship between Celeste and May will grow? How May would live with such a secret about her adoptive daughter ? It was my first book from leah fleming and I must admit it was hard to put the book down ..i really enjoyed how the things are written and how things will goes between all of them. It is a heart taking book . I love the ending but I can’t say more about it no ‘spoiling’ . I enjoyed most of the characters except Grover .He is a bad man . I loved how their children grow up and lived their live thinking of the titanic disaster . So it was a great discovery and I really loved this book ..
