Synopsis

Of Worth and Inheritance: The roses bloom in June, every year without fail. I stand among them now, forty-three years old, grey threading through hair that was once carefully arranged for London ballrooms, and marvel at their stubborn persistence. These are the roses my husband's grandmother planted in secret rebellion seventy years ago. Impossible things, everyone said. They won't survive Yorkshire's climate, won't endure the harsh winters, won't thrive in soil too rocky for such delicate blooms. They were wrong. The roses endured. They always do, when given proper care and the freedom to grow wild. My hands are stained with paint and soil, evidence of the work I do, the life I've built. Not the hands of a viscountess, which I might have been. Not the hands of a woman who chose security over authenticity. But the hands of someone who learned, painfully and gradually, that worth isn't inherited. It's created. Behind me, the cottage glows with lamplight. Six rooms that became home, that sheltered a partnership built from scandal and catastrophe. My husband is inside with our children, grown now, building their own definitions of success, planting their own impossible roses. I think about inheritance often. What we're given, what we choose to carry forward, what we leave behind. My grandmother-in-law left me these roses and the wisdom to understand what they meant: small rebellions matter. Impossible things endure. And the only legacy worth passing forward is the courage to define your own worth.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Time To Breathe

Acknowledgement:

This book was inspired by three songs my husband wrote. I remember sitting with him one day, a quiet morning with coffee, when he turned to me and said, "I think these songs might be more than just music." He didn't know it then, but in that simple statement, he had already started the story.

Steve did in fact start writing the story.

His melodies and lyrics weren't just tunes; the were poetic lyrics.

A book is never the work of one person alone. Therefore to my darling Steve, thank you for beginning this story and having the faith in me to see it through to the end of what I call our book!

Finally, to you, the reader, thank you for picking up this book. I hope within these pages you find a story that resonates and perhaps, just for a moment, a quiet place to breathe.
