As the impulsive, artistic daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, she's the opposite of her famous socialite sisters. Where they're long-stemmed roses, she's a dandelion: an adorable bloom that's actually a weed, born to float wherever the wind blows. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When regal nonagenarian, Ms. Della, invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning. She leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. And just beneath the surface of her new neighborhood, the music, stories and dazzling drama of the Harlem Renaissance still simmers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e One evening in February as the heady, curiously off-season scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, \u003ci\u003e A Love Song for Ricki Wilde\u003c\/i\u003e is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50101118140639,"sku":"9781538726709","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/1fZzOMdPdK9781538726709.webp?v=1781068292","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/a-love-song-for-ricki-wilde-hardcover","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
