Wish I had my 17 hours of reading time back. Pointless rambling. If you tried to read this and failed, don't feel bad. I hated every page. I refused to let it defeat me.

Enjoyed learning about the history of our country, that wasn't as boring as sitting in a classroom. Following the generations, and reading about the forming of New York, and the roles their families played was exceptional.

3 women, from very different walks of life, come together in the 1930's. Life was different then, so what they pull off, was pretty amazing. Good descriptions of life in the 30's but just a little hard to follow with the dates. The story takes you back and forth by days, giving you the action that happened, then going back and setting up the steps that were taken. It also went from 1930 into 1969. Still, it was an interesting story and I don't regret reading this book.
