Three stories, told by three different authors, with one common thread, an address in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Combined their stories become a complex mystery connecting three generations of women in one family to a single extraordinary room in the Gilded Age mansion at that address.
In 1945 the mansion is being used as a private hospital to which a critically wounded Captain Cooper Ravenal is brought. He carries a portrait miniature featuring a woman who looks very much like his young doctor Kate Schuyler. And the ruby pendant she is wearing looks a lot like the pendant handed down to Kate by her mother.
In their pursuit of answers, the pair find themselves drawn
into the turbulent history of the mansion. The reader learns about Olive Van
Alen, a woman driven from riches to rags in the latter 1800s, who hires out as
a servant in the very mansion her father designed. During the 1920s Lucy Young comes
to the house in pursuit of the father she had never known.
Are Kate and Cooper ready for the secrets that will be
revealed in the Forgotten Room? Find out for yourself.
White, Williams,
and Willig have written two other historical novels together and each of them are very prolific as solo authors in the field of historical fiction.
