Title: Lasting Treasures
Author: Julie Ellis
Sub-Category: Historical
Blurb: Having fled the 1917 revolution, 16-year-old Russian refugee Viktoria meets and marries Gary Barton, heir to a prospering Virginia tobacco business. She quickly adapts to American ways but, remembering the pogroms and obeying her bigoted father-in-law, she conceals her Jewish origins--a decision she will later deeply regret. Vicky evolves into a shrewd, determined businesswoman who builds the tobacco company into a major national concern, bringing the quarrelsome Barton family enormous wealth. Alarmed at Vicky's growing concerns about cigarettes' link to cancer, however, her relatives plot to gain control, leading to a conclusion of epic proportions.
