Summary
Filomena is a clever and resourceful war refugee with a childhood secret, who comes to America to wed Mario, the family's favored son. Amie, a beautiful and dreamy French girl from upstate New York, escapes an abusive husband after falling in love with Johnny, the oldest of the brothers. Lucy, a tough-as-nails Irish nurse, ran away from a strict girls' home and marries Frankie, the sensuous middle son. And the glamorous Petrina, the family's only daughter, graduates with honors from Barnard College despite a past trauma that nearly caused a family scandal. The four women become godmothers to one another's children, finding hope and shelter in this prosperous family. But secret pasts-- and events during World War II-- lead to betrayals that threaten to unravel all their carefully laid plans. -- adapted from jacket
