ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

A Fall of Marigolds by Susan Meissner tells the interwoven stories of two women a century apart, both seeking refuge and healing amidst loss and tragedy. In 1911, Clara Wood, a nurse at Ellis Island's hospital, finds solace in her work after escaping the devastating Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. When a patient, Andrew Gwynn, arrives grieving the loss of his new bride, Lily, Clara uncovers a secret that could shatter Andrew’s world. A century later, Taryn Michaels, struggling to cope with the aftermath of 9/11, inherits a scarf that belonged to her grandmother, who worked as a maid for a wealthy family in 1911 New York. The scarf leads Taryn on a quest to uncover her grandmother’s connection to a mysterious love affair and a stolen necklace. As both women delve into the past, they uncover secrets and confront truths that will forever alter their lives. The novel explores themes of love, loss, forgiveness, and the enduring power of the human spirit to find hope and healing amidst adversity.
