East London, 1888 - a city apart. A place of shadow and light where thieves, whores, and dreamers mingle, where children play in the cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night, where bright hopes meet the darkest truths. Here, by the whispering waters of the Thames, Fiona Finnegan, a worker in a tea factory, hopes to own a shop one day, together with her lifelong love, Joe Bristow, a costermonger's son. With nothing but their faith in each other to spur them on, Fiona and Joe struggle, save, and sacrifice to achieve their dreams. But Fiona's life is shattered when the actions of a dark and brutal man take from her nearly everything - and everyone - she holds dear. Fearing her own death, she is forced to flee London for New York. There, her indomitable spirit propels her rise from a modest West Side shop-front to the top of Manhattan's tea trade. But Fiona's old ghosts do not rest quietly, and to silence them, she must venture back to the London of her childhood, where a deadly confrontation with her past becomes the key to her future.

Wonderful book can't wait to listen to the next one. Great narrator voices. In fact I'm going to go listen to the next ( "Winter Rose" ) in the trilogy now.

Heart warming story!

This book was too much fun! It would make the most perfect BBC miniseries full of melodrama and romance. LOVED The Tea Rose and can't wait to read those other books.

I read all kinds of books now, but I started with this one, years ago. I’ve read the book 2 times and listened to the audio once. It has everything. I can’t belive anyone would give this a bad review. Crazy. I couldn’t put it down. The narration could be better for the younger characters.. but the book is amazing!!

Favorite book of all time!

There is not much I disliked about this story, it was suspenseful without being overdone and made you feel at home with the characters. I am always a sucker for a happy ending.

I loved every minute.
