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 Veraโs life to unexpected possibilities. Angeloโs new wife, Pearl, the wealthy daughter of a clothing manufacturer, has defied her familyโs expectations by devoting herself to the suffrage movement. In Pearl, Vera finds an unexpected dear friendโฆand a stirring new cause of her own. But when Pearlโs selfless work pulls her farther from Angelo and their son, the life Vera craved is suddenly within her reachโif 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 Aliceโa generation and a world apartโare 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, theyโll each discover that love is the only constant.
