A Good Morning America Book Club Pick and a New York Times bestseller! A page-turner for booklovers everywhere! . . . A story of family ties, lost dreams, and the redemption that comes from discovering truth. --Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of The Shoemaker's Wife In this historical novel, a series of book thefts disrupts the iconic New York Public Library, impacting two generations of strong-willed women. In 1913, Laura Lyons appears to have it all—her husband is the library's superintendent, and they live in an apartment within its grand walls. Yet, Laura craves more and takes a leap of faith by applying to Columbia Journalism School. Her studies lead her to Greenwich Village's bohemian scene and the Heterodoxy Club, where women boldly discuss suffrage and rights. As Laura grapples with her traditional role as a wife and mother, the thefts at the library force her to confront her shifting priorities, risking everything she holds dear. Fast forward to 1993, where Sadie Donovan navigates the legacy of her grandmother, the renowned essayist Laura Lyons, as she secures her dream job as a curator at the library. However, her excitement turns to dread when rare items for her exhibit begin to vanish. To save her career, Sadie partners with a security expert to uncover the thief. As the investigation unfolds, she uncovers unsettling truths about her family heritage, revealing connections to the library's tragic past.
