About this title

From Library Journal:

The author of ten other novels, including By Blood Divided ( LJ 2/15/91) and Heritage ( LJ 1/15/82), Orde has written an entertaining family saga that spans two continents and over 60 years. Orphans Nathan and Leonora escape their stingy, tyrannical uncle and emigrate from London to New Orleans. The way to prosperity is not easy, however. Hopes of a future filled with love and wealth are ended by a typhoid epidemic and then by the Civil War. Still, Nathan and Leonora persevere and triumph. Interesting characters (both likable and despicable), odd twists of plot, and the setting--a fascinating period of American history--recommend this book to public libraries.
