This book had one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve read. Chicago in 1925 just jumps off the pages. But the Sawyer storyline felt weak to me, and that knocked this book to a 4 star for me. I enjoyed it but I felt there were holes and less emotion driving the modern side of the story. A very emotional and realistic book with a hopeful streak.
