Daughter of Fortune
The book that I read is called Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende. In this 432 page romance novel we encounter Eliza Sommers who was abondoned at the doorstep at a wealthy home in Valparaiso, Chile as a newborn infant. The home is inhabited by two wealthy British brothers and their sister. As Eliza is growing up, she is unaware of her origins and really never questions where she comes from since she has enough love from her nanny and her aunt Rose(the British sister of the wealthy brothers). When Eliza gets older(maybe 16 or so) she falls in love with her uncle's field hand. The guy is poor and they have secret rendez vous. Eliza's lover is forced to live the country in search of gold in California. Eliza in turn goes after him. This book has lots of mysteries.

Lol doesn't this book remind you of Austin Powers in Goldmember. Dr. Evil was pickked up by the British too, lol. Wow, and this book sounds like the "I AM YOUR FATHER" Type of book. I hope it has a better ending than that.
