Produktbeschreibung

Vivian has more in common with her nemesis than she wants to believe.

Waxwood, 1900: For Vivian Alderdice, the twentieth century begins with a new start. Now a working woman and progressive reformer, she's forsaken the elegance of Nob Hill for the more modest Waxwood. She's laid Penelope Alderdice's specter to rest at last. Granted, her life isn't the one she was born into. Instead of a Nob Hill socialite, she sells strawberry sodas at her friend's drugstore and helps working-class women improve their education. But she has no complaints about the calmness and predictability of her days.

Vivian's peaceful existence is thrown into turmoil when the man who ruined her brother's life appears like another specter she must exorcise.

At first, Vivian hates him with a passion. But when she sees how his own undiscovered past has destroyed him, leaving him helpless in the hands of a cousin who hates him worse than she does, she finds herself wanting to help.

Is it his journey Vivian will discover in the dark forest of guilt and betrayal or her own?

Read the powerful conclusion of the Alderdice family saga set in the enlightened times of the Progressive Era.

Discover for yourself whether Vivian will find peace and forgiveness in the future.

What reviewers are saying:

"Author Tam May has done an artful job staying in character and context, scene and setting of this often overlooked and elusive era of modern history." - Lisa Lickel, author and blogger, Living our Faith Out Loud

"With a very interesting and complex main character, an enticing storyline, and wonderful writing this is the kind of story that stays with you after the end of the book."

"This one was a page-turner and I felt caught by the intensity of the story, wanting to turn the page and wondering what might be around the corner."

Autorenporträt

Writing has been Tam May's voice since the age of fourteen. She writes stories set in the past that feature sassy and sensitive women characters. Her fiction gives readers a sense of justice for women, both the living and the dead. Tam's stories are set mostly around the Bay Area because she adores sourdough bread, Ghirardelli chocolate, and San Francisco history.

Tam is the author of the Adele Gossling Mysteries which take place in the early 20th century and features suffragist and epistolary expert Adele Gossling whose talent for solving crimes doesn't sit well with the town's more conventional ideas about women's place.

Tam has also written historical fiction about women breaking loose from the social and psychological expectations of their era. She has a 4-book historical coming-of-age series set in the 1890s titled the Waxwood Series and a post-World War II short story collection available.

Although Tam left her heart in San Francisco, she lives in the Midwest because it's cheaper. When she's not writing, she's devouring everything classic (books, films, art, music) and concocting yummy vegan dishes.
