Welcome To The Hamilton

She wasn't supposed to be the one holding everything together.
 

But when seventeen-year-old Clara Wilson discovers an eviction notice tucked inside her father's coat pocket, she knows that waiting for someone else to act isn't an option. Not with her father lost to grief and drink. Not with her sister counting on her. Not with the ghost of her mother's voice still whispering, believe in yourself.
 

So when a newspaper ad announces the opening of a grand new hotel in the heart of 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.
 

As Clara navigates the Hotel Hamilton's rigorous training program, she finds herself battling not only her own self-doubt, but an out-of-place socialite with everything Clara lacks — and nothing Clara is willing to lose. Because this job isn't about ambition. It's about survival. It's about keeping a promise to a mother she can no longer ask for guidance.
 

For readers who know what it means to be the strong one — even when you don't feel strong at all.
