“This is perhaps one of the most intriguing stories to be imagined. The writer is shattered by the suicide of her husband and the story begins with her admission into a mental clinic, remembered by her as the gilded cage.---- “During her treatment, she finds herself reliving her family tree and explains with crystal clarity the vivid scenarios, sad, happy, and certainly full of emotion.”---- “The eras have been thoroughly researched and we are drawn into this beautifully told story in a series of well-described protagonists.”---- “Hard work was certainly the order of the day in the early 1900s, yet it seems to have been undertaken as a completely natural run-of-the-mill routine.”---- “The details are so vivid, it is almost impossible to stop reading as each character blossoms with his or her individual lives being brought to life.”---- “This would make an ideal play, yet there is so much truth running through. Just as it makes for compulsive reading, it would certainly be compulsive to watch.”---- “Unusual, satisfying, deeply emotional.” Wendy Anne Lake, writer and author
