Memory is the Seamstress: The Story of a Family

Eighty-six-year-old Samantha Leaf has kept a terrible secret for decades - one that now threatens to destroy a well-known publishing empire. In the early part of the twentieth century, Charles Leaf came out of the mid-west to New York, carrying only a dream. He opened a bookstore and founded a dynasty. He longed for a line of sons to carry on what he built. But his only heir, Charles Junior, is a disappointment, and the future of the business is in jeopardy. That all changes when Samantha Tyler comes to work for Leaf & Sons, enchanting both men. Memory is the Seamstress begins in 2017 as the family convenes to deal with an impending lawsuit. Something from Samantha's past has come back to haunt them. As the mystery unfolds, we learn about the players in this high-class game of deception, ambition, love, marriage, and madness. At the center of the family, and the decades-long secret, is Samantha and, around her, the men in her life: Senior, her father-in-law, mentor and friend, who made her his heir; Charles, the husband whom she could never fully love; Charlie, her son, devoted to his mother but determined to make his own mark; Charlie's son, Gordon, the outsider looking to take control of the company; and Gordon's son, Bennett, on the verge of young manhood, and falling in love for the first time. And Samantha's other secret - her love for the artist Isaac Raffael, who shares Samantha's guilt. The stories of all these characters is woven into the tapestry of this complex family saga.
