A love story filled with prejudice and stereotypes as a young Gypsy woman is forced to read tarot cards instead of becoming a doctor - setting lives on a dangerous collision.
In the spring of 1942, as America has just joined the war, Marisol is forced to read tarot cards at an Ohio lakeside amusement park so that her family can survive. Though she dreams of learning to read and becoming a doctor. A forbidden romance with Will, the son of a wealthy railroad tycoon blossoms, putting them both at risk as they deal with deadly prejudices. The park manager's wife, Lila, tries to secretly help her learn to read in a room hidden below the Crystal Ballroom.
An oppressive park man threatens and works to have Marisol and her people banned from the park by any means possible. By summer's end, storms are brewing, and not everyone will survive. Marisol questions her ancient heritage and must choose between her family and the clan's traditions, the one who understands her true desires, and following her true career path.
A breathtaking tale of female resilience, The Last Gypsy Queen is an extraordinary novel that captures the sheer desire and longing to live a bigger life.
A summer carnival whirs to life in a quiet corner of a world at war, and the lives it touches will never be the same. Linda Paul's sweeping historical romance pulled me into its world, where a forbidden love transcends cultural barriers. A story rich with humanity and heart. -Tamatha Cain, author of Song of the Chimney Sweep
