Summary

Emma Singh is the new star in the British literary heaven. Her debut book broke sales records, and expectations for the follow-up are sky-high. With Emma's Indian background, her publisher takes for granted that her next novel will also be set in India. The problem is that Emma feels as British as Queen Elizabeth and barely knows the country where she has her roots. Inspiration fails to appear, the words won't flow, and Emma is forced to realise she's suffering from writer's block. With panic, she watches her deadline approaching and searches for a way out. Perhaps creativity will come alive if she changes her environment?

When Emma is offered the position as house mistress at a boarding school, she packs her bags and leaves London in a hurry. She imagines that she will have plenty of time to write alongside her work. But life as a house mistress is considerably more demanding than Emma had anticipated. When eleven-year-old Mira crosses her path, Emma realises there are others who have lost their way in life. Can the two help each other find the way forward? And is it right to abandon your dream when it's about to come true?

Writer's Block is the second standalone part in the Writing Sisters series.

    Born in 1859 to Irish immigrants, Mary Dowling arrived at the height of anti-Irish and anti-Catholic fervor in America. The hardscrabble life her family led provided the foundation of grit and determination that would serve her well. She married the enterprising John Dowling. He offered her oversight of their burgeoning bourbon company's financial books and sought her insight as they grew from distillery investors to sole proprietors of Waterfill and Frazier. 
 
 
 
Mary's first trials arrive in a series of tragedies that leave her widowed and with a business no one wants to support. Steering the lives of her eight children, she bucks up against a male-dominated bank and distributor that drop her to align herself with progressive partners. She scales to ever higher heights, becoming an influential member of Lawrenceburg society while achieving immense wealth. When Prohibition arrives with its animosity toward immigrants and Catholics, Mary is forced into semi-retirement—until the federal government comes after her on charges of bootlegging. Only then does she bite back, determining that if she is going to be treated like a criminal, she will behave like one. 
 
 
 
Mother of Bourbon is the story of a pioneering and visionary woman who achieved success in a system designed to suppress her, and against a government that strived to repress her.
