A decades-old scandal. A mysterious inheritance. Can a young woman survive a family desperate to keep their past buried?

2010. Anne Huang never cared to call anywhere home. But her carefree lifestyle of blogging and travel is interrupted when a stranger with ties to her family bequeaths her a fortune. And with no knowledge of her history, she soon finds herself thrown in with a nest of billionaire vipers determined to lock away their skeletons.

1946. Seventeen-year-old Rose Chen’s quiet life is shattered when she’s dragged from Taiwan and forced to immigrate to the U.S. And her nightmare continues when she arrives in San Francisco, only to be shipped off by her parents to serve in a wealthy American’s household. But her dutiful-daughter status soon comes under threat when her risky friendship with her white employer’s son transforms into something taboo.

Confronted by jealous rivals, Anne battles distrust and hidden agendas as she tries to understand more about her birthright and learns the value of love. And as Rose wrestles with her complicated feelings in a private journal, she unwittingly leaves a stunning legacy to a granddaughter she’ll never know…

Can their lives come full circle to close one door and open another?

Forbidden Blossom is the heartfelt first book in the Skyline Mansion women’s fiction series. If you like soul-searching heroines, paths to self-discovery, and stories of perseverance and inner strength, then you’ll adore Nola Li Barr’s generation-spanning tale.

Anne thought all of the family secrets had been revealed until she saw the photo.

A second journal falls into Anne's lap just as she is accepting her inheritance and her grandmother’s secret. This time, an old photo of her mother with a mixed-race boy and an unknown woman comes with it. When she finds out the boy is her long-lost uncle—someone whom her mother has never mentioned—she promises to find him.

Anne embarks on a new journey to Taiwan with her mother and boyfriend, Sebastian, where her Chinese American culture hinders more than helps. She must navigate a culture and a complex extended family that is at once familiar and foreign. Family bonds and relationships are tested as she hopes to locate her lost uncle, but the most tested relationship is the one she holds with Sebastian.

As Anne embarks on an emotional journey to discover the truth behind her family’s closely guarded secrets, she opens wounds she does not see coming.

Hidden Blossom is the second book in the Skyline Mansion women’s fiction series. A journey to Taiwan filled with the complexity of multicultural relationships, soul-searching heroines, and the constant of a mother’s love.

How many secrets could one family have?

After failing to find her uncle in Taiwan, Anne is back at Skyline Mansion and wants life to be quiet for a change. But when Harrison suddenly makes an appearance, only to disappear a few days later, her life is once again turned upside down.

When Anne receives Harrison’s journal with a note requesting her to read it before she decides to search for him again, Anne takes the mission to heart. She once again forsakes her family and friends as she delves into her uncle’s past, unraveling a history of more secrets, pain, and loss.

At the same time, another Wilkens family member has reached out to her. The girl is charming, but she wants something, and Anne suspects her true intentions, especially when she learns that she is best friends with her arch nemesis—the same woman who still has eyes on Anne’s inheritance.

Secret Blossom is the third book in the Skyline Mansion women’s fiction series. Filled with soul-searching heroines, paths to self-discovery, and stories of perseverance, Secret Blossom shows how love conquers all.
