Everyone present loved the book and the story line. Now Barbara felt it was wrapped up to nice and neat. And question how could a mother an orphan herself ever do what she did. Sorry can't tell you everything.... The story kept everyone's attention and wanting more. You'll get sucked up into the characters lives and wonder why and how they did what they did. You'll disagree, you'll question but you'll find yourself accepting their decisions.
Young Molly an orphan finds herself in trouble with the law and needs to complete 50 hours of community service. She hides behind her goth dress her pain and rejection. The popular boy in her new school, Jack, could see past the dress and dark make up and became her boyfriend. To avoid jail time he has arranged for Molly to do community service with the help of his reluctant mother for a 91 year old woman named Vivian Daly. Molly learns that Vivian was an orphan too and that's when the story begins and the bond begins.
The story bounces back and forth between the 1920's to the present. You'll find love, perseverance, adversity and survival. You'll find secrets of the past how child welfare made their choices and other dark secrets.
