A Heart Most Worthy

The elegance of Madame Forza's gown shop is a far cry from the downtrodden North End of Boston. Yet each day Julietta, Annamaria, and Luciana enter the world of the upper class, working on finery for the elite in society. The three beauties each long to break free of their obligations and embrace the American dream--and their chance for love. But the ways of the heart are difficult to discern at times.

Julietta is drawn to the swarthy, mysterious Angelo.

Annamaria has a star-crossed encounter with the grocer's son, a man from the entirely wrong family. And through no intent of her own,

 Luciana catches the eye of Billy Quinn, the son of Madame Forza's most important client.

Their destinies intertwined, each harboring a secret from their families and each other, will they be found worthy of the love they seek?

Every Siri Mitchell book that I've read I have thoroughly enjoyed. It did not take long to get lost in the story of 3 young girls from immigrant families with hopes and dreams for their lives while dealing with the expectations of their families.  The girls work together and their lives intersect with a couple of twists but eventually get their happy ending.
