[Jane · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story chronicles the lives of a family whose ties are pulled apart and then reunited. It is a compelling story that draws the reader into the characters. Most of the characters are strongly portrayed and the plot flows well; however I felt that there was something lacking in depth. Perhaps that will come in the sequel, "Journeys" which I look forward to reading.
