Her never-ending dream of owning her own teashop with her childhood sweetheart Joe, as he worked in produce and she at a tea factory saving a little, very little each payday so their dream of a teashop would come true. The owner of the tea factory was against unions forming in his establishment and when Fiona Father tried to help organize one he was murdered. When she overheard how he died they were after her she had to flee her home in Whitechapel London to America as she feared for her own life.

When she reached America there were new tragedies awaiting her. She was bound and determined to beat all odds to open a teashop. Each step of the way colorful characters emerge with their own stories, all touching Fiona's life. I don't want to tell you details of this wonderful action filled novel. I will tell you there are a few familiar characters you will recognize one being Jack the Ripper. I recommend this book, and you won't be sorry, as it is one of the best novels I have read in ages. Jennifer Donnelly has done her history research for sure.

There are moments you want to cry and others where you want to cheer. This melodrama will appeal to the reader of history, business people, and the romantic and
of course the tea lover.

Now sit back in your comfy chair as you won't be able to put this captivating novel down, I couldn't. Don't forget fix yourself a pot of tea!
