Meet Me at the Clock

Louisa Wilson is done hiding from the stage. But is she ready to face what returning to it will cost her?

Vancouver, 1927. Five years after their mother's death, Clara and Louisa Wilson are still finding their footing — one sister embraces staying small, the other is counting the days until she's back where she belongs, in the spotlight instead of scrubbing someone else's bathtub.

Clara has found a strange comfort in the shadows of the Hotel Hamilton. So when the hotel matron begins grooming her for more responsibility, it unsettles her more than it excites her. Louisa, meanwhile, is done waiting to be noticed — but stepping back into the spotlight means facing the very thing that drove her out of it in the first place.

When cruelty and prejudice test the fragile balance the sisters have built — inside the hotel and beyond — Clara and Louisa are forced to reckon with how differently they've each learned to survive. One sister disappears. The other performs. Only one of them is starting to wonder which version of herself is real.

This isn't a story that rushes toward answers. Like the first, it unfolds in quiet moments — a shift change, a rehearsal, a walk home in the dark — where the real reckoning happens.

Meet Me at the Clock is Book 2 in the Hotel Hamilton Series, a women's historical fiction series continuing Clara and Louisa's story from Welcome to the Hamilton.
