Covering several heart breaking occurrences, including the real life incident of the SS Eastland capsizing in the Chicago River, this book manages to extract hope and a happy ever after amidst sadness and tragedy. I have never been to Chicago, but reading this book transported me there in the early 1900s. The scenes were all so vivid, as were the characters, that I was completely entranced by this story. The women in this story are gutsy and vivacious and you can see them starting to break the stereotypical roles of their day. This story is about morality, friendship, and what version of the truth really matters.
This book is the third in a trilogy but I did not feel like I was missing out by not having read the first two, which now I do plan to go back and read.
