I loved this book. The book is about Tessa who has a baby at the age of 14 and the child is raised as her sister. She goes on become a famous actress, and becomes estranged from the child and has to find a way to reunite them. This was just a really well written dramatic novel

The cover says the story of a mother and daughter. It is actually the story of three generations. The family is Catholic, so there is a religious bent. I really enjoyed this novel.

I must admit this book was on my book list with no intention of reading it. It looked like something that I would not like. I ran out of reading material and thought I would give it a try. I must admit that it gripped my attention from page one and have not been able to put it down. It is a great book and brings out the point that no matter how important or how glamorous you are, you still may have nothing. This book makes you happy and sad and then you are not sure how to feel, it is well written. This is one of those books that you can not "judge by its cover".

From a strand of understated Tiffany pearls, bought with Tessa Kent's first earnings as an actress, to the flash of honey-green emeralds slung around her neck by her Aussie mogul husband, Luke Blake, Tessa's gems are the tangible sign of her stardom and power over men.
