This book made me ugly cry. It probably didnt help that it is highly focused on mother daughter relationships and I lost my mom a few years ago, unexpectedly. In any case, I knew it would be touching from the first page. I have always known and loved the story of Joseph,  but getting a different point of view, even if fictional, was very enlightening. I loved the character of Dinah and how so many stories intertwined. My favorite part was definitely the second half of the book, near the end when she asks Gera about the "sister who was loved by the prince" and she finds out, her name is not only remembered, but songs were even made about her. My heart was full of joy for her.
