Two women.... two horrific New York city tragedies.... two stories of love and loss. 
 Clara's story takes place in 1911, following the horrible Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. 
 Taryn's story begins on September 11, 2001, the morning of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and carries forward to the 10 year anniversary. 
 Their lives, 100 years apart, are joined together by a beautiful scarf and a shared experience of grief. 
 Both women must learn to "make peace" with the tragedies they have witnessed, and assuage their own feelings of guilt that the outcome and subsequent loss of a loved one was, in part, due to the decisions they made leading up to the events. 
 Do things happen for a reason? Does fate play a role? 
 If you have a fatalistic philosophy about life, this historical novel will resonate with you.
