Editorial Reviews

The Last Cotillion took me on a journey of loss contentment, anger, acceptancem fear, trust, love, and forgiveness. It was like a trhill ride at Six Flags. Each turn of the page legt me wanteing more, I need to know more! A family foundation built on secrets and lies turned into sincere apologies and foriveness. I just know there's going to be more! Will there be peace for a stolen baby? I need to know what Mrs. Simpson wrote to the doctor. Does Beatrice ever find out the trusth?
