Críticas:

"I was so moved by this book. I loved Molly and Vivian, two brave, difficult, true-hearted women who disrupt one another's lives in beautiful ways, and loved journeying with them, through heartbreak and stretches of history I'd never known existed, out of loneliness toward family and home."--Marisa de los Santos, New York Times-bestselling author of Belong to Me and Falling Together

"A lovely novel about the search for family that also happens to illuminate a fascinating and forgotten chapter of American history. Beautiful."--Ann Packer, New York Times-bestselling author of The Dive from Clausen's Pier and Swim Back to Me
