The Winter Rose - Jennifer Donnelly
A wonderful sequel to The Tea Rose. Fiona and Joe's family continue, and so does the constant battle to get ahead in life. Theirs seems to be a battle against evil and the poverty of London's East Side, of which Joe is the elected MP. This time, life has reached out to Seamie and Willa, as they climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. It leaves them both damaged and alone. They both must travel a long, painful road before they will return to love.
