New York, 1910. Seventeen-year-old Sylvie and her French-immigrant mother Justine eke out a living doing piecework in a tenement on the Lower East Side, while Sylvie attends school so that she can escape their life of poverty by becoming a teacher. At least, that's what her mother believes should happen. Sylvie, though, has a different dream. She wants to be a star in the new moving pictures, just like the beautiful Vitagraph Girl. When she meets a dangerously handsome Italian boy at church one Sunday and he encourages her ambitions, she begins secretly taking steps toward the career she knows her mother won't approve of. But Sylvie isn't the only one with secrets. Justine has kept her sordid past from Sylvie ever since they came to New York fifteen years before, stitching together a fabric of lies along with the shirtwaists she finishes every day, doing everything in her power to keep the truth from her daughter-that she fled Paris as a courtesan after committing a crime that could still get her arrested, or worse. When Justine's past catches up with her in a single act of brutality, Sylvie witnesses what she thinks is her mother's betrayal and runs away during a freak blizzard, putting them both in grave danger. Ambition, survival, and unexpected alliances combine in this mother-daughter story that proves love can conquer all-at a price. <br /><br />*****************<br /><br />Video by White Rabbit Arts at The Historical Fiction Company Created for History Bards Podcast<a href="https://www.thehistoricalfictioncompany.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> www.thehistoricalfictioncompany.com</a> <a href="https://www.historybards.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.historybards.com</a> Music and Images by Shutterstock, Invideo, Public Domain, and Wikipedia and Epidemic Sound]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/53636288</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Apr 2023 12:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/53636288/susanne_dunlap_author_interview.mp3" length="25515336" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Dee Marley</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Author interview with historical author, Susanne Dunlap, the author of "The Courtesan's Daughter"

Born and raised in Romania’s capital, she dreams of living as a “free Romanian woman.” After calling off her wedding to a young, parentally-approved accountant, she escapes to a city on the coast, where she meets a scientist-perfumer named Freddy. He is the true love she has been looking for—and a ticket to her dream. Soon, though, that dream turns into a nightmare she never could have predicted. Friddie’s story of incredible hardship is interwoven with the stories of her family. We follow her Aunt Rosa’s life as the glue of her household, even though she loses her husband in mysterious circumstances; her Uncle David, who dreams of becoming a schoolteacher and starting a family in Iași, and her cousins, who uproot their lives in Bucharest to start again in Israel. In this tragic-heroic novel, the true stories, the victims, and the small moments of happiness are revealed in the Danube’s labor camps, under the fascist-dictatorial and communist rule that has been a part of Romania for so many years. Based on the true experiences of a Jewish Romanian family, Where the Lilacs Bloom Once Again unearths stories that could so easily be lost to the passage of time. This family’s tale has emerged at a critical time, to show the need for compassion and kindness, even in the hardest moments. <br /><br />Buy the book: <a href="https://geni.us/5FJqPj" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://geni.us/5FJqPj </a><br /><br />Visit the author's website: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AuthorRoniRosenthal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/AuthorRoniRosenthal </a><br /><br />***********<br /><br />Video created by White Rabbit Arts at The Historical Fiction Company <a href="https://www.thehistoricalfictioncompany.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.thehistoricalfictioncompany.com</a> Images by Shutterstock, Public Domain, and Wikipedia<br />Music by Epidemic Sound<br /><br />To have your historical novel featured on the History Bard's podcast and channel, send us an email at thehistoricalfictioncompany@gmail.com]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/53559483</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Apr 2023 12:00:03 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/53559483/roni_rosenthal_author_interview.mp3" length="32343624" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Dee Marley</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Author interview with historical fiction author, Dr. Roni Rosenthal, of "Where the Lilacs Bloom Once Again"
