This International Bestseller will consume you from start to finish.  The Massot family owns one of the last independent jewelry companies in Paris.  Unfortunately, the owner, Pierre Massot, has been missing for seven years leaving his widow, Sophie, to pick up the pieces.  Many doubt Sophie's abilities to take the company to the next level and keep it successful, especially her mother-in-law who conveniently lives in the guest house in the backyard. Is Sophie willing to make the sacrifices necessary to keep the family business alive or will she bend to the very generous offers to buy the company?

War & Loss

The Rose of Sebastopol

by Katherine McMahon

 Do not allow the simple illustration of this cover to disillusion you from the novel's heart wrenching story. Mariella, the story's main character, grew up in a world where money was never an issue and beauty was a woman's most important attribute.  Her comfortable life came crashing down when Britain entered the Crimean War and her lover, Henry, went to fight and her cousin and best friend, Rose, went to work as a nurse.  Mariella could bare it no longer and when her pain got the best of her she decided to go look for Rose and Henry.  What she discovered on her journey was worse than the dying men on the battlefield.
