Bessie's Fortune

Generations will grow from the grand wedding of Burton Jerrold and Geraldine Grey, no matter the reasons for their union. Births, deaths, weddings and funerals follow as their descendents struggle with marriages made for social and financial gain, and find that fortune in love means something else.
