“The Address”

 


I’ve probably said it before, but I would not have wanted to live in the 1880s. No rights, limited opportunities, constantly fighting simply to be heard... 


Two stories. Two women. One hundred years of lives intertwined. New York City 1884. New York City 1984. The Dakota. The Statue of Liberty. Blackwell’s Island Insane Asylum. Lies. Deceit. Adultery. Sacrifice. Love. Each woman had their own “demons” - each woman tried to live with their past...their heritage, or lack thereof. Drenched in the history of New York City - Nellie Bly, Central Park, and the 1980s nightclub scene. As the novel marched toward its climax, I was not prepared for the twist that was to come. Happily-ever-after? Maybe. Maybe not.
