I really enjoyed this book! I did listen to the audio as I followed along in the book. This made it that much better for me. I def recommend if you like history. This is a story of a girl who was left an orphan and was taken to a convent. She is then adopted by American parents and when she graduates she wants to find out more about her family and where she came from.
