"Jan Moran is the new queen of the epic romance." ―USA Today Bestselling Author Rebecca Forster

"A stylish, compelling story of a family torn apart by war and a woman's courageous efforts to bring them back together, with everything from romance to heartache, spying, intrigue, and vivid settings. Danielle is just the kind of feisty female protagonist that I love, but what really sets this saga apart is the backdrop of perfumery that suffuses the story with the delicious aromas of rose, jasmine, lavender, bergamot, etc. You can almost smell them as you read - a remarkable feat!"―Liz Trenow, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Forgotten Seamstress

“A sweeping saga of one woman’s journey through World War II and her unwillingness to give up even when faced with the toughest challenges.” — Anita Abriel, Author of The Light After the War
