Two distinct worlds. Two ambitious careers. One unyielding heart.
New York City, 1921. Twenty-nine-year-old Ruth Feldman has spent a decade fighting for respect as a female reporter at The Forward. She’s determined to prove she can handle serious, hard-hitting investigative journalism, and her chance arrives when she is assigned a major profile interview with Hal Nagy—a charismatic congressman navigating the volatile political landscape of the post-Great War era.
What begins as a high-stakes assignment quickly complicates as Ruth is drawn into Hal’s inner circle, balancing an intense new romance with glimpses into a world of high-society wealth and political influence she never expected.
But behind the glamour of the Roaring Twenties lies a fierce political machine. As the realities of Hal's career close in, Ruth finds her journalistic integrity colliding with her personal loyalty. Caught between the expectations of a high-society future and the independent career she has sacrificed so much to build, Ruth must decide what she is willing to compromise to write her own history.
In this compelling sequel to the award-winning The Girl in the Triangle, Joyana Peters delivers a rich portrait of a trailblazing woman fighting for her voice in a rapidly changing world.
