This was a good but also heartbreaking family drama. Cecily is at the center of this drama and I loved her so much

A young orphan, Cecily is sold into the circus. She travels and performs for them for several years under the front of her "sister" Isabelle. Until she falls in love with the "wrong" boy, a young Black man. 

This story showcases so much from each of the timelines and they aren't always easy. Like the 1930s and the prevalent racism plus the horrible practice of sterilizing, without consent, thousands of young girls and selling their babies. The DNA in the 2015s where you might not always find things in your family lines that you want to know.

I loved the ending as it had me in tears and just brought families together in love and rejoicing.
