The Silk Rose

By Julia Drosten

From the internationally bestselling authors whose novels have reached more than half a million readers worldwide and been translated into multiple languages...

She lost everything.
Now she refuses to lose herself.

New York City, 1907.
Mirella Rossi has lost her home, her security, and the life she once believed was hers.

With nothing left to hold her back, she makes a daring choice:
she will build her own future-on her own terms.

In a city full of opportunity-but ruled by men-Mirella fights her way into the world of beauty and business. What begins as a fragile dream soon grows into a thriving enterprise.
But success comes at a price.

Her family demands obedience.
Society demands conformity.
And the man she loves may force her to choose between passion... and independence.

As New York hurtles toward war and a deadly pandemic, Mirella faces an impossible question:

How much is she willing to risk to remain free?

A sweeping, emotional historical novel about a strong woman, ambition, and the courage to shape one's own destiny.

Perfect for readers of historical fiction, women's fiction, and family saga novels-especially fans of Kristin Hannah, Lucinda Riley, and Kate Morton.
