A beautiful scarf, passed down through the generations, connects two women who learn that the weight of the world is made bearable by the love we give away....
September 1911. On Ellis Island in New York Harbor, nurse Clara Wood cannot face returning to Manhattan, where the man she loved fell to his death in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Then, while caring for a fevered immigrant whose own loss mirrors hers, she becomes intrigued by a name embroidered onto the scarf he carries...and finds herself caught in a dilemma that compels her to confront the truth about the assumptions she's made. Will what she learns devastate her or free her?
September 2011. On Manhattan's Upper West Side, widow Taryn Michaels has convinced herself that she is living fully, working in a charming specialty fabric store and raising her daughter alone. Then a long-lost photograph appears in a national magazine, and she is forced to relive the terrible day her husband died in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers...the same day a stranger reached out and saved her. Will a chance reconnection and a century-old scarf open Taryn's eyes to the larger forces at work in her life?

I also love her stories that marry a historical story with a contemporary plot. She has a knack for finding varied stories that beautifully fit.A Fall of Marigolds is a perfect example of that skill. This story invites us into the stories of two women who experienced tragedy in New York City, one on 9/11 and the other in the early 1900s. The tragedies have amazing similarities not the least of which is a scarf that is decorated with marigolds that ties the heroines together. The stories flow seamlessly back and forth and propelled me easily through the book. I longed to know what was going to happen to both women.This story will grip you and pull you in whether you prefer historical or contemporary novels. Give this book a try...I don't think you'll be disappointed.

It's an extremely well written novel of historical fiction tying the immigrants coming though Ellis Island & the medical staff who took care of the sick ones along with a 9/11 survivor story. Throughout the book I could feel what the characters felt. There is a section where Susan Meissner describes the thirst felt at the 9/11 site right after both towers went down. I could feel that thirst. Both stories told are compelling and the more I got into the book the more I wanted to keep reading it. I missed it when it was over. I loved the award winning historical fiction novel titled "Molokai" and think that "A Fall of Marigolds" is an equally wonderful book. Highly recommend!!!

Her last work was a masterpiece that left me aching to return to Italy. She is a masterful storyteller.So, when I knew she had a new book releasing, I didn't hesitate to enter a Goodreads giveaway for a copy, even though I knew next to nothing about the story. And I won!A Fall of Marigolds has been sitting on my shelf for a few months while I tackled other reviews, but I recently finished it and can easily say this book makes my top whatever list of best books I've ever read.The book opens in Manhattan 2011 with Taryn, a woman whose husband died in the Twin Towers on 9/11. She works in a specialty fabric store and lives above it with her 9-year-old daughter. A picture of her from the day of the tragedy surfaces suddenly and the quiet life she thought she'd gotten on with is disturbed.Intertwined with her story is that of Clara, a nurse working on Ellis Island in 1911. She was a witness to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and has come to the island to escape the memories of her loss that day.Both stories are steeped in heavy sadness, and honestly, I've been avoiding stories, documentaries and movies about 9/11 since the day it happened because I can sometimes still feel the weight of the national despair. I don't often lean in to pain, and I might have been more hesitant to read this story if I'd known that was part of it.And I won't lie. This story is not all feel-good. There are heart-wrenching scenes as these two women, separated by a century of time, allow themselves to grieve the past and open their lives to the present and future. I had to set it down a few times and let the feelings sink in and pass before starting again.The beauty of this story, though, is the thread of hope woven through the tragedies. Meissner does not avoid the reality of how these women were affected nor does she let them stay in their comfortable grief. When the story was finished, I felt full in my soul. I may have even released a satisfied sigh. This is one of those books that is not so much an escape as it is examination, helping readers to see that whatever hardship seems to be at the forefront, a larger, stronger force is at work.After reading A Fall of Marigolds, I feel ready to explore other 9/11 literature, and I'd certainly read this book again.
