I enjoyed this story as it alternated between Margie's life in 1923 and Madeline's in 1999. I couldn't put it down and although the ending left me slightly bereft, I had to round up the rating from 3 1/2 to four stars. How lucky we are as women, living in our time with the choices and freedoms we have, and how we are only limited by ourselves. This story is a good reminder.
