Suggested by donnalundy
The Peacock Emporium is a rich story of a young woman with a mysterious past who finds both safety and salvation in the quirky shop she opens in her small town. Athene Forster was untouchable. Dubbed the “Last Deb,” she was gorgeous, rich, and could have anything—or anyone—she wanted, including young heir Douglas Fairley-Hulme. Two years into their marriage, however, scandal engulfs the couple after a young salesman catches Athene’s eye, ultimately causing her fall from grace. Thirty-five years later, Suzanna Peacock is drowning in the shadow of her late mother, Athene. Unhappy in her marriage and desperate for a fresh start, Suzanna opens The Peacock Emporium, an eclectic shop that attracts an eccentric cast of characters. In her new role, Suzanna begins opening up, and even finds a true friend in Alejandro, a male midwife. But despite her efforts, Suzanna is unable to escape the specter of her mother. It will take tragedy, heartbreak, and ultimately healing for Suzanna to learn that only by confronting the ghosts of her past can she finally begin to live in the present.
