I give this book four stars because it makes you wonder why did Ivy’s mother leave her and why did she never come back? This book is about a girl named Ivy who has a reputation from her family’s history. They call it the “Milbourn Legacy”. The legacy states that all the women in the family will die tragic deaths. Ivy has a mother who as soon as Ivy was born abandoned her. For all she and and her grandfather knows she would be most likely dead. Until one day the mother shows up to the house with no money and house with two girls. The mother wants nothing to do with Ivy and lies to her girls saying that Ivy was their Aunt even though the other girls were siblings. Ivy feels betrayed and the mother stills doesn’t care because all she cares about is leaving that house with her first child and the milbourn legacy because she doesn’t want her other girls to follow the same legacy the rest of the milbourn women had to face. Read Wild Swans to know more about the legacy and the hardships Ivy has to face knowing the mother wants nothing to do with her.
