Women's Fiction Historical | Historical
Faith Simpson is born at the dawn of the twentieth century into a
dynasty that gives her everything she will ever need—except her
parents’ love and attention. Often misunderstood, she trusts few as she
grows up on the family’s manicured Long Island estate. Just twenty-
nine miles away, on lower Manhattan’s dirty, crowded streets, Hope
Lee’s world is one of poverty and desperation. The scrappy child of
hard-working Irish and Chinese immigrants has learned to fend for
herself, until a terrible disaster thrusts her into a strange, new world of
privilege. When she meets Faith, Hope has faced enough loss to last a lifetime,
and, like Faith, she has built an emotional wall to survive. Compelled by
the tragic bonds of very different childhoods, they soon forge a strong
alliance. But when Faith’s father chooses Hope as his protégé, and,
worse yet, both Faith and Hope fall in love with the same man,
resentment and betrayal threaten their bond. Caught in the tumult of
World War I, Wall Street, union fights, and changing women’s roles,
these two extraordinary women find that true fortune can’t be bought
or sold.
