Description
In postwar Los Angeles, Hosanna Clark, a determined young woman from rural Texas, and Gilda Rosenstein, a Holocaust survivor with expertise in cosmetics, build an innovative beauty business serving Black women. Their partnership blossoms into a deep friendship—until Gilda’s sudden betrayal leaves Hosanna devastated and her family struggling with the consequences. Years later, Hosanna’s daughter Matriece enters the cosmetics industry and seizes an opportunity to confront the company connected to her mother’s loss. Blending family drama, business ambition, racial identity, and questions of justice, the novel explores the price of friendship and the debts that history leaves behind.
