A family fallen on hard times. Two sisters with different dreams. Can a luxurious hotel forever change their lives?
Vancouver, Canada, 1927. The Roaring Twenties are anything but extravagant for seventeen-year-old Clara Wilson.

But with her impulsive, adventure-seeking sister quick on her heels, she may find herself battling more than she anticipated.
Feeling the intense burden of responsibility and doing her best to navigate the opulent hotel's rigorous training program, her hopes for survival crumble when she encounters rivalry from an out-of-place socialite.

Customer Reviews
Ms. Williams does it again-new adventure, same deft skill to envelop readers in a pocket of history!
Welcome to the Hamilton, the first in the Hotel Hamilton series of novels, is not the typical roarin' twenties story of post-war excess and new-found artistic freedoms. Within the opulence of (what would become) historically important luxury hotels in beautiful Vancouver, Canada, Williams weaves a complicated family tale. Heavy is the head of young adult Clara, struggling to meet her family's needs amidst the grief of losing her mother. Yet this is a lovely and uplifting story, as Clara makes surprising discoveries about her father, sister, the changing world, and, most surprising of all, herself! This novel lays the perfect foundation for a new series. I am already anxious to get the next instalment into my hot little hands!
