Forced to find a way to provide for herself and her siblings, Anneke rejects an offer of marriage from a despised cousin and instead turns to her late mother's family business: brewing ale. </p> <p>Armed with her mother's recipes, she then makes a bold deal with her father's aristocratic employer, putting her home and family at risk. Thanks to her fierce determination, Anneke's brew wins a following and begins to turn a profit. But her rise threatens some in her community and those closest to her are left to pay the price. </p> <p>As Anneke slowly pieces her life together again, she finds an unlikely ally in a London brothel owner. Determined not only to reclaim her livelihood and her family, Anneke vows not to let anyone stand in the way of her forging her own destiny. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Richly atmospheric, romantic, and chock-full of period details, this fast-paced tale and its many plot twists and turns are likely to keep historical fiction fans riveted."--<strong><em>Booklist</em></strong><br><br>"The daughter of a merchant flouts 15th-century English convention to start a brewery in Brooks's illuminating epic (after <em>The Chocolate Maker's Wife</em>). Brooks's attention to historical detail instills the novel with authenticity by including many historical figures and events, while Anneke's lively voice keeps a strong grip on the reader as she works to overcome societal prohibitions against women in business and find happiness and contentment. Brooks's immersive page-turner does not disappoint."--<strong><em>Publishers Weekly</em></strong><br>
