EdilsonLopesSilva | Jan 3, 2024 |  Edwina Winfield has survived the Titanic sinking, taking her parents and fiance and leaving her with brothers and sisters to raise. Story follows her as they land in NYC and make their way to San Francisco, take over her father's newspaper business. Problem is brother in law has told those in SF to sell the house, they'd be moving to London to live with them. At 20 she put her life on hold to raise all the kids....story tells of each of the other 5 that she raises and their problems along the way... I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). (  ) jbarr5 | Oct 31, 2015 | The story dragged on and on and on with run on sentences using ands and buts frequently to tell us the same things repeatedly and over and over. (I hope that sentence is taken as an example of the book, not my own style!). The characters were poorly developed cardboard cut-outs except the main character who was rather insipid. The novel was full of exposition occasionally punctuated by a bit of dialogue or action, but only sparingly. Overall, a dry read for me.
