SO fascinating and gripping! The settlement felt a little bit too easy and slightly anachronistic, but I loved the rest.

Great story! Emotional and heart warming. Shows the lengths a mother will go to for her child. 
I enjoyed seeing Alexandra’s character develop & seeing how Bess’s life unfolded. 
Enjoyed immensely.
