"I enjoyed the story in all its generations. How a immigrant's family makes it big in the USA. The characters are strong and very human. Wealth does help but they worked hard also. A little unbelievable because a woman became president and that doesn't seem close to happening here yet."
— Beth (5 out of 5 stars)
