Vera Keller, the daughter of German immigrants in turn-
of-the-century New York City, finds her life upended when
the man she loves becomes engaged to another woman. But
Angelo Bellavia has also inadvertently opened up Vera’s
life to unexpected possibilities. Angelo’s new wife,
Pearl, the wealthy daughter of a clothing manufacturer,
has defied her family’s expectations by devoting herself
to the suffrage movement. In Pearl, Vera finds an
unexpected dear friend…and a stirring new cause of her
own. But when Pearl’s selfless work pulls her farther
from Angelo and their son, the life Vera craved is
suddenly within her reach—if her conscience will allow
her to take it.
Her choice will define not only her future but also that
of her daughter, Alice.
Vera and Alice—a generation and a world apart—are bound
by the same passionate drive to fulfill their dreams. As
first mother and then daughter come of age in a city that
is changing as rapidly as its skyline, they’ll each
discover that love is the only constant.
