Opis

Sheba yearned for her life to begin. But that could only happen when she'd gotten what she'd always wanted: a family. Only then could the agony of the thought be replaced by bliss. Only then could she begin to live. Being a bastard is hard anywhere, but rural eastern Europe after the Great War was its own brand of brutal. Still Sheba survived and even found love in spite of it all. But miscarriage after miscarriage replaced hope with doubt then despair and finally torture. She could let go of the hope for a happier past but not for that of a happier future. An overwhelming choice loomed over her. How could she ever choose betwen the love of her life and her future children when neither one could bring her happiness without the other? Everything she had painstakingly tried to build was threatening to come crashing down. Could the fortune-teller have been right? Was what she already had enough? Or was letting go giving up?
