A Wonderful Read

I love all the wonderful and sweet people in this book. I cannot believe all the readers in the world haven;t found the time to read and review this book. Takes place in England and America before and after the first World War. Involves Black Jack Pollock and his family which includes Lilly who he picks up off the street in England. She is the shining star of the family. He adopts her and she marries his son who later dies at the hands of his own sister. Brock Weymouth is an American who befriends the family and saves them from misery. Well worth reading.
