Description

Winner of the 2020 Independent Press Award - Women's fiction What's worse than a mother like Josephine? Turning out to be just like her. Late Nineteenth Century: Wealthy and headstrong Kit Firestone chafes under the rules of the Golden City’s high society, especially the interference of her charming but overbearing mother, Josephine. Kit’s secret rebellion leads to potentially catastrophic results and keeps her from finding true happiness. When her brother nearly dies from a dangerous infection, Kit defies convention and becomes a working nurse. Through her troubled romance with a young doctor and a series of dramatic events, including a natural disaster and her mother’s own critical illness, Kit begins to understand who her mother truly is and what their relationship is all about. She may not get the chance to appreciate their bond, however, because, through no fault of her own, a madman has Kit in his crosshairs. "...the novel's fast-paced narrative and engaging dialogue will draw readers in from the start. It's full of intriguing details about San Francisco near the turn of the last century, and it also provides engaging information about the evolution of medicine-and women's health care, in particular... A solidly entertaining, feminist tale that's also well-suited for medical-history buffs." Kirkus Reviews "Michaels's...offers a vivid portrait of San Francisco's Gilded Age through the eyes of Kit Firestone, an impassioned nurse who was born into high society ... [the author] is adept at handling medical practices of the time and women's health topics, such as sexually transmitted diseases and birth control, with sensitivity and intelligence. Part family drama, part romance, Michaels's tale will satisfy both fans of the series and newcomers alike." Publishers Weekly Josephine's Daughter is Book Five in A.B.
