From the rear cover
She promised a dying father she would keep his daughter safe.
She can't fail now.
The one thing Sylvie Townsend wants most is what she feared she would never have--a family of her own. But taking in Polish immigrant Rose Dabrowski to raise and love quells those fears--until seventeen-year-old Rose goes missing at the World's Fair, and Sylvie's life unravels.
With nowhere else to turn, Sylvie seeks help from her boarder and Rose's violin instructor, Kristof Bartok. Fluent in several languages, his skills are vital to helping Sylvie navigate the immigrant and international communities where their investigation leads.
From the glittering architecture of the Fair to the dark houses of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods, they're taken on a search that points to Rose's long-lost family. Is Sylvie willing to let the girl go? And as Kristof and Sylvie grow closer, can she reconcile her craving for control with her yearning to belong?
"An evocative tale about surrendered dreams and life's unexpected bends in the road, Shadows of the White City satisfies in every way!"--TAMERA ALEXANDER, USA Today bestselling author of Colors of Truth and A Lasting Impression
"This superbly told story offers tension throughout and many unexpected plot twists. The descriptions of the 1893 World's Fair and the excellent map at the beginning help readers orient themselves within the Fair. A well-paced story with credible characters; highly recommended."--Historical Novels Review
