Synopsis

Three identical sisters. One town. A lifetime of consequences.

In 1916, a set of triplets is born into sudden fame—and quickly sold to the highest bidders.

Two are raised in luxury on a hilltop estate.
The third grows up in an abandoned work camp.

But hardship and privilege leave their marks—and not always as you’d expect.

As the years pass, the distance between them grows—in wealth, power, and circumstance. But in a small town, nothing stays separate forever.

When their worlds finally collide, the truth of who they are—and what they’ve become—will demand a reckoning.

A sweeping work of historical fiction about fate, class, and what we make of the lives we’re given.


“An engagingly twisted family saga.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Darkly funny, edgy, and complex.” — The Kindle Book Review, Five Stars

À propos de l'auteur

Timothy Patrick learned early about living on both sides of the railroad tracks. Even though his family scraped to pay the rent and hadn't made it past the first rung of the social ladder, his mother decided her son ought to go to an elite boarding school. She smooth talked the headmaster and Timothy ended up at Judson School in Scottsdale, Arizona--the child of a TV repairman hobnobbing with the children of diplomats and famous athletes. On visiting day Timothy watched the parents of his schoolmates arrive in limousines and Lamborghinis. His parents arrived in a beat up van that said "Patrick's TV Repair" on the sides. In his debut novel, "Tea Cups & Tiger Claws," Timothy continues with this childhood theme as he introduces us to forbidden mountaintop palaces and the seemingly unworthy characters who try to sneak into them. It's a family saga that spans three generations and, of course, takes you on a wild ride from one side of the tracks to the other.
