"I really enjoyed this sequel to the Swan House. I saw a lot of myself in Ellie and related to her in more ways than maybe I would like. This one was a little faster read than the Swan House and kept my interest a little more, but still a good sequel. "

    " This is by the same author as The Swan House which I loved. Same family, another generation, different issues. Dealing with cancer, childhood accident that led to a scarred face, trying to find where the character fits it with her family and in society. While I enjoyed the book, I didn't love it like her first book. "
