About Author

Susan Carroll

Susan Carol Cute was born in 1952. She obtained a Degree in English with complementary studies in History in the University of Indiana. She assures to have the sensation of having lived with a foot in the past, and remembers better the genealogy of the Kings of England than the name of her state's current governor. She resides together with her two teenagers daughters and two elderly cats in Rock Island, in the state of Illinois. Susan was always encouraged to dream by her mother, Sally. She managed to sell her first romance novel in 1986. She used three different pen names to sign her novels: Susan Carroll (the only that she uses today), Susan Coppula (her married name), and Serena Richards (her daughter's name). She obtained three times the RITA Award.

Description

"The year is 1881. Seven-year-old Jinhua is left an orphan, alone and unprotected after her mandarin father's summary execution for the crime of speaking the truth. For seven silver coins, she is sold to a brothel-keeper and subjected to the worst of human nature. Will the private ritual that is her father's legacy and the wise friendship of the crippled brothel maid be enough to sustain her? When an elegant but troubled scholar takes Jinhua as his concubine, she enters the close world of his jealous first wife. Yet it is Jinhua who accompanies him--as Emissary to the foreign devil nations of Prussia, Austro-Hungary, and Russia--on an exotic journey to Vienna"--Amazon.com.
