"This sequel to The Sins of the Father opens with the resolution of the trial and the triumphant marriage of Harry Clifton and Emma Barrington. Harry Clifton, now a bestselling novelist, his wife Emma, their son Sebastian, and orphaned Jessica make a new life for themselves, but all is not happy. Emma's brother, Giles, is engaged to a woman more interested in Barrington's fortune and title than in marriage. And Sebastian finds a hard time resisting temptations at school that his somewhat unsavory friends provide. The drama continues for Harry Clifton and his family, bringing this mesmerizing saga into the 1960s."--Publisher description.
