The American Lady

Tempestuous and beautiful Wanda Miles, daughter of Ruth and Stephen
Miles (or so she thinks), aspires to more than the life of a debutante,
but the trouble is she doesn't know precisely what she wants. Then her
aunt Marie, the family's renowned glassblower, arrives from Lauscha,
Germany, and Wanda decides that learning about her ancestry may hold the
key to her future. When Marie accidentally reveals a long-held secret
about Wanda's parents, Wanda goes to Lauscha to unravel the truth.
While
Marie finds herself increasingly swept up in New York City's bohemian
social scene - catching the eye of a handsome young Italian in the
process - Wanda explores a past she never knew in the village of her
mother's youth - and begins to build a life that she never expected.
A
sweeping tale that takes listeners from the small town of Lauscha to
the skyscrapers of New York and the sun-kissed coast of Italy, The American Lady is a tribute to the enduring power of family and what we'll do in the name of love.
