Publisher's Summary:
One is Emma. The other is to build a lasting business enterprise that will live on through his children and grandchildren. But just when Adam's dreams are within reach, fate intervenes. Tragedy strikes from the trenches of World War I, setting in motion a series of events that echo down through the years. The owner of a prospering department store and the head of a growing family, Adam succumbs to a moment of weakness that culminates in an unforgivable act of betrayal. And now, as another generation prepares to take its rightful place in the family's legendary empire, the tenuous threads of the Arnrings' past begin to unravel, revealing a shattering secret that reaches back nearly a century.
Across a teeming canvas of history, through world wars and the close of a century, The Sight of the Stars tells a deeply affecting story of family and forgiveness, guilt and redemption. Brimming with the emotional depth and moral complexity we have come to expect from this incomparable storyteller, The Sight of the Stars is about what happens when we dare to dream, and the moments that can change families forever.

Members Reviews:
A good "I was sold to the circus" story
An inspiring story about a little albino girl born to rich religious fanatics in the 1930s who was sold to the circus as a 'freak' by her fruitcake mother. Her sister, who inherits the family estate, never knew this sister existed. It's about the struggles of the 2 sisters, each very different from the other. I enjoy all of Belva Plain's novels and this was no exception.
Great story
Great book, always like the writing. I've gone through a couple of books in 2 days. Characters very interesting. Sometimes can anticipate what's gonna happen but most times left in suspense.
Good Read
I liked the story plot. It ended well.
Five Stars
Great book
The Sight of the Stars
This was an outstanding book. Of course I have liked all of Belva Plain's books. I did not know that she had passed away until I read this book. I felt so bad. Her books are always so wonderful and good. I will miss her.
