Where the Last Rose Blooms
BOOK FEATURE
Thank you Uplit Reads and Ashley Clark for this gifted book.
Are you a fan of certain settings for books? I know I am, and I just love books set in New Orleans since it is such an atmospheric city full of history and life.
Where the Last Rose Blooms takes us to both present day and 1861 New Orleans. This looks like itโs a story that not only has tons of atmosphere but also has mystery, history, and romance!
๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐: Alice runs a New Orleans flower shop alongside her aunt, but thoughts of her mother, who went missing during Hurricane Katrina, are never far from her mind. After getting off on the wrong foot with a handsome yet irritating man who comes to her shop, Alice soon realizes their worlds overlap--and the answers they both seek can be found in the same place.
In 1861 Charleston, Clara is known to be a rule follower--but the war has changed her. Unbeknownst to her father, who is heavily involved with the Confederacy, she is an abolitionist and is prepared to sacrifice everything for the cause. With assistance from a dashing Union spy, she attempts to help an enslaved woman reunite with her daughter. But things go very wrong when Clara agrees to aid the Northern cause by ferrying secret information about her father's associates.
Faced with the unknown, both women will have to dig deep to let their courage bloom.
