Book excerpt: Lily Kovner, nicknamed the Jewish Miss Marple, accidentally spies a familiar-looking painting hanging in the unlikely setting of a shabby restaurant in Vatican City. Simon Rieger, her significant other, has been summoned to examine a previously unknown manuscript, attributed to a famous Talmudic scholar, unaccountably stored there. A suspicious death and the disappearance of both the painting and manuscript lead Lily and Simon to Lviv, Ukraine, newly freed from Soviet rule but a city lacking vestiges of the vibrant Jewish community that thrived there for centuries before World War II and isolation behind the Iron Curtain. Lily recalls her one pre-war childhood visit to this city then known as Lwów, Poland, and wonders if any of the relatives she met survived the Holocaust. The trail of the manuscript and painting provides early clues. Ultimately, the path reveals a modern woman's saga of solitary resiliance, despite the treachery of perpetrators professing to be holy, that mirrors a centuries-old local legend of a Jewish heroine who saved a landmark synagogue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepare yourself for a unique historical fiction experience that defies traditional expectations. Our series ventures beyond the conventional boundaries, exploring modern themes and employing contemporary language. While our tale is set in the Nineteenth century, its narrative was crafted for the twenty-first century reader. Should you find violence, explicit content, or the use of strong language discomforting, we advise against delving into this series. It is not intended for sensitive readers seeking a gentler reading experience. In a world where Harriet's sticky fingers have always led her into trouble, she found an unexpected haven in Helen's house, where a light touch is not just accepted but welcomed. When tensions rise, suspicion blankets the household, threatening to unravel everything. Desperate to keep hold of everything she’s built, Helen orders everyone left to collaborate on an jewel heist. Harriet manages to take a little off the top for herself. But, when she discovers her precious stash of skimmed diamonds has been tampered with, Maeve knows it is time to go. In a whirlwind of haste, Harriet returns to the last place she ever expected to go. Amidst old friends and familiar foes, she secures an unlikely future, nestled among nuns in a convalescent home for displaced soldiers. She can't stay with the nuns forever, though, and seizes an opportunity to become a nurse in the vibrant city of New Orleans, thrusting herself into the charming life of Doctor Alexander Dwyer. But, the Good Doctor is a temptation she can't afford to indulge, and Harriet is determined to keep him at arms length. In a tale of passion, danger, and redemption, Harriet's journey will test the boundaries of trust, love, and the power of transformation.
