“Rich and heartfelt.” Publishers Weekly
Description
Can she have it all—or does she have to choose? And when you choose between two things you love, must one be forever lose?
It is the dazzling decade, the 1920s, and a beautiful young singer is torn between her fierce desire for independence—to create something of her own, for meaning and purpose—and a deep abiding love for her husband, a medical missionary who will become royal physician to the court of Siam. Based on a true story, one young woman will travel from Philadelphia of the Roaring Twenties to the jungles of the Orient, to pre-war Paris and Rome, in the struggle to find her place in the world.
