Description:Star D’Aplièse is at a crossroads in her life after the sudden
death of her beloved father—the elusive billionaire, affectionately
called Pa Salt by his six daughters, all adopted from across the four
corners of the world. He has left each of them a clue to their true
heritage, and Star’s clue leads her to an antiquarian bookshop in
London, and the start of a new journey.
A hundred years earlier,
headstrong and independent Flora MacNichol vows she will never marry.
She is happy in her home in England’s picturesque Lake District—just a
stone’s throw away from her childhood idol, Beatrix Potter. But when
circumstances carry her to London, and into the home of one of Edwardian
England’s most notorious society hostesses, Alice Keppel, she finds
herself a pawn in a larger game; forced to choose between passionate
love and duty to her family. That is, until a meeting with a mysterious
gentleman reveals answers Flora has been searching for…
Star’s
voyage of discovery takes her deep into Flora’s remarkable story, and
into her own past. But the more she uncovers, the more Star begins to
question herself, and her place in the world.
