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.
Josephine’s Daughter is Book Five in A.B. Michaels’ historical fiction series “The Golden City.” Other titles in the series include The Art of Love, The Depth of Beauty, The Promise, The Price of Compassion, and The Madness of Mrs. Whittaker.
All titles in this series are stand-alone reads or can be read as part of a series (check out my Book Bundles).
What’s worse than a mother like Josephine? Turning out to be just like her.
Winner of the 2020 Independent Press Award – Women’s fiction
Editorial Reviews:
“…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
What Readers are Saying:
“Josephine’s Daughter is a well-researched and engaging book filled with interesting history about life in San Francisco at the turn of the 20th century and the art of medicine at that time. The book draws the reader in from the very beginning…” – K M-G (Amazon Review)
“This was just a stunningly beautiful book. The characters are just… they are so well layered, so well crafted. Each time you think you have one figured out, they grow, and they show an unexpected strength.” – K. Thompson (Goodreads Review)
“Michaels will imperceptibly draw you into her characters’ lives, challenges and relationships as she frames their stories with the appealing geography and development of coastal California. If a sign of a good author is that you wish the book would never end, then Ms. Michaels is one of the best!…” – Susan Z. (Amazon Review)
“A.B. Michaels always weaves such beautiful and yet informative stories. Josephine’s Daughter – The Golden City Book 5 delivers. “We cannot change what we are NOT aware of, and once we are AWARE, we cannot help but CHANGE”
~ Sheryl Sandberg” – Darlene (Goodreads Review)
