Wonderful book! With a very sad ending!

At first I thought it was a work of complete fiction until I looked to see if there really was a woman named CECELIA and lo and behold THERE WAS! The book was mostly based on fact! with a few fictional events and characters. The novel was beautifully written. Loved it!
