The children of a driven and ambitious father, the sisters -Kathleen, the oldest, a beautiful talent intent on a career as an opera diva; Frances, the drunken rogue and child prostitute; Lily, the pseudo-saint cripple; and Mercedes, the fervent Catholic and protector of the flock - are swept along by the tumult of events and of their own desires. This is a story of family relationships, racial strife, miracles, attempted murder, birth and eath, and an extraordinary love affair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MacDonald, Ann-Marie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50666608820408,"sku":"9780099740513","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9780099740513.jpg?v=1734749977","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9780099740513","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
