About this listen

Faith Simpson is born at the dawn of the twentieth century into a dynasty that gives her everything she will ever need - except her parents' love and attention. Often misunderstood, she trusts few as she grows up on the family's manicured Long Island estate. Just twenty-nine miles away, on lower Manhattan's dirty, crowded streets, Hope Lee's world is one of poverty and desperation. The scrappy child of hard-working Irish and Chinese immigrants has learned to fend for herself, until a terrible disaster thrusts her into a strange, new world of privilege.

When she meets Faith, Hope has faced enough loss to last a lifetime, and, like Faith, she has built an emotional wall to survive. Compelled by the tragic bonds of very different childhoods, they soon forge a strong alliance. But when Faith's father chooses Hope as his protégé, and, worse yet, both Faith and Hope fall in love with the same man, resentment and betrayal threaten their bond. Caught in the tumult of World War I, Wall Street, union fights, and changing women's roles, these two extraordinary women find that true fortune can't be bought or sold.

This is a family-style story set in the early part of the 20th century among the poor and super rich. If you like this kind of book. you'll enjoy this. I wouldn't call it the best book I've ever listened to, but it's a good escape with relatable characters.

Such a wonderful book. So happy to have found it. What a great story, the character development was perfect and the writing kept you enthralled. I loved some of the historical elements she included. She did some great research. I can't wait to try some books by this author.

LOVED!

Exciting

The story is always interesting and you can't really figure out what happens next, even though the author gives subtle clues. I listened to it again to notice the way she writes about what will come in further chapters. Another book of hers that I've listened to a hundred times is "Three Daughters" which I think is superb. That narrator really brings the story to life. Highly recommend! This author was a little bland with inflection and the voices don't really pop, but she did a fine job.

Very Well Written!

Huge fan of historical fiction. I loved the story, the time period and the fact that there were actually likeable and/or interesting characters. Following the family through their years of good times and bad was believable and entertaining. Great narrator as well.

Best book in a long time

Haven’t enjoyed a book so much in a long time...this was magnificent! Made me cry.....

Wonderful

Gives a feel for this period in history, but not enough to keep my interest. Read more like a soap opera that lost its edge - starting out about strong women and didn't sustain momentum.

Eh!

I always like seeing different perspectives of New York City over the years and this provides it!

An interesting story. I had a little trouble keeping the characters straight at times. I thought it ended kind of abruptly, but all the plot threads were tied up.

Interesting story

I expected turns or twists in the story yet was able to predict all. Predictable
