{"product_id":"the-tea-rose-a-novel","title":"The Tea Rose: A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eEast London  1888-a city apart. A place of shadow and light where thieves  whores  and dreamers mingle  where children play in the cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night  where bright hopes meet the darkest truths.  Here  by the whispering waters of the Thames  a bright and defiant young woman dares to dream of a life beyond tumbledown wharves  gaslit alleys  and the grim and crumbling dwellings of the poor.  Fiona Finnegan  a worker in a tea factory  hopes to own a shop one day  together with her lifelong love  Joe Bristow  a costermongers son. With nothing but their faith in each other to spur them on  Fiona and Joe struggle  save  and sacrifice to achieve their dreams.  But Fionas dreams are shattered when the actions of a dark and brutal man take from her nearly everything-and everyone-she holds dear. Fearing her own death at the dark mans hands  she is forced to flee London for New York. There  her indomitable spirit-and the ghosts of her past-propel her rise from a modest west side shopfront to the top of Manhattans tea trade.  Fionas old ghosts do not rest quietly  however  and to silence them  she must venture back to the London of her childhood  where a deadly confrontation with her past becomes the key to her future.  The Tea Rose is a towering old-fashioned story  imbued with a modern sensibility  of a familys destruction  of murder and revenge  of love lost and won again  and of one determined womans quest to survive and triumph.  Authentic and moving  The Tea Rose is an unforgettable novel-one certain to take its place beside such enduring epics as A Woman of Substance  The Thornbirds  and The Shell Seekers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946620743733,"sku":"ByrdShop_0312288352","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312288358_ee23edfa-3523-4222-801e-6a05a3457a46.jpg?v=1770203431","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-tea-rose-a-novel","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
