Shadows of the White City (The Windy City Saga Book #2)
Shadows of the White City (The Windy City Saga Book #2) | Jocelyn Green
6 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
The one thing Sylvie Townsend wants most is what she feared she was destined never to have--a family of her own. But taking in Polish immigrant Rose Dabrowski to raise and love quells those fears--until seventeen-year-old Rose goes missing at the World's Fair, and Sylvie's world unravels. Brushed off by the authorities, Sylvie turns to her boarder, Kristof Bartok, for help. He is Rose's violin instructor and the concertmaster for the Columbian Exposition Orchestra, and his language skills are vital to helping Sylvie navigate the immigrant communities where their search leads. From the glittering architecture of the fair to the dark houses of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods, they're taken on a search that points to Rose's long-lost family. Is Sylvie willing to let the girl go? And as Kristof and Sylvie grow closer, can she reconcile her craving for control with her yearning to belong?

Well, there‘s definitely a “white city” outside my window today, but it‘s not the “white city” in my newest read

This second book in ‘The Windy City Saga‘ is just as thrilling as the first book 👍🏻 I‘m not quite halfway through but it‘s got me hooked!!

Jocelyn Green has a way of drawing her readers into her delightful world; this time it‘s into the heart of the Chicago World Fair. The writing is beautiful as always. The characters are flawed, raw, down-to-earth and the plot is intriguing, engaging, and oftentimes heart-wrenching. The faith journey is rocky yet rewarding and fulfilling. It's another winner from Jocelyn Green!

I received the book from publisher. All opinions are my own.
