Emotionally gripping and exquisitely written, Indigo Rose tells the story of one womans extraordinary passage from sorrow to joyand the uncommon journey that restores her spirit.When Indigo Rosemartin leaves behind her beloved only child, Louisa, and her homeland of Jamaica to earn a better wage in America, she has no idea just how final her good-bye will be. In Chicago she keeps house for Professor Silver, whose three daughters come to depend on her in the wake of their parents crumbling marriage. But when Indigo receives devastating news that is every mothers worst nightmare, she finds herself without purpose in a wintry, unfamiliar worldher heart hardened even against the girls she has cared for second only to her own. Stricken, Indigo drifts through her days until she discovers Brother Mans, a private gambling club run by a charismatic fellow Jamaican.
