Following in the footsteps of such beloved epics as "A Woman of
Substance," "The Thornbirds," and "The Shell Seekers" comes this
towering story of murder and revenge, of love lost and won again,
and of one determined woman's quest to survive and triumph...
The Tea Rose
East London, 1888-a city apart. A place of shadow and light where
thieves, whores, and dreamers mingle, where children play in the
cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night, where bright
hopes meet the darkest truths. Here, by the whispering waters of
the Thames, Fiona Finnegan, a worker in a tea factory, hopes to own
a shop one day, together with her lifelong love, Joe Bristow, a
costermonger's son. With nothing but their faith in each other to
spur them on, Fiona and Joe struggle, save, and sacrifice to
achieve their dreams.
But Fiona's life is shattered when the actions of a dark and brutal
man take from her nearly everything-and everyone-she holds dear.
Fearing her own death, she is forced to flee London for New York.
There, her indomitable spirit propels her rise from a modest West
Side shop-front to the top of Manhattan's tea trade. But Fiona's
old ghosts do not rest quietly, and to silence them, she must
venture back to the London of her childhood, where a deadly
confrontation with her past becomes the key to her future.

"Full of warmth and rich period detail, "The Tea Rose" begs for a
comfy, overstuffed chair and plenty of time to keep turning those
pages." "-Dallas Morning News"
"Steeped in melodrama, revenge, and a maddeningly star-crossed
romance...a fine yarn." -"People"
