Publisher Description
Clara Wilson found the eviction notice. Finding the courage to save her family is another matter.
She's seventeen, yet waiting for someone else to act isn't an option — not with her father lost to grief and drink, her sister counting on her, and the ghost of her mother's voice still whispering, believe in yourself.
So when a newspaper ad announces a grand new hotel opening in 1927 Vancouver, Clara does the only thing she knows how to do — she shows up.
What she doesn't expect is her sister showing up right behind her.
Inside the Hotel Hamilton's rigorous training program, Clara isn't just up against her own self-doubt. She's up against a socialite who's never wanted for anything — and who could walk away tomorrow and lose nothing but a distraction. For Clara, it isn't about ambition. It's about survival. A position at the hotel is the only way left to save her family from ruin and keep a promise to a mother she can no longer ask for guidance.
This book is for you if:
•You love a working-class heroine fighting for her family inside a glamorous 1920s setting.
•You want sisters who complicate each other's lives as much as they save them.
•You're drawn to quiet, character-driven stories where courage looks like showing up, not saving the day.
Welcome to the Hamilton is the first book in the Hotel Hamilton Series — a women's historical fiction series set against the gilded backdrop of 1920s Vancouver, where ordinary women quietly carry the weight of everything.
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!
