Praise for Only the Beautiful " Only the Beautiful is an emotional journey of grief, hope, and second chances... Meissner pulls no punches in comparing America's treatment of people with disabilities with the Nazis' actions a few years later, leaving the reader with the emphatic message that everyone has a moral obligation to speak out against governments doing horrible things. This one resonates." - Historical Novels Review " Susan Meissner is a master of the genre...[ Only the Beautiful ] is set in 1930s California and explores our country's brief but troubling fascination with eugenics via the story of Helen." - San Diego Union-Tribute " Uncovers the horrors of eugenics movements through the stories of two women in 20th-century America." - PopSugar " The lives of two women intersect in this powerful tale about the love between mothers and daughters." - BookBub " Meissner delivers a nuanced and heartbreaking tale; expect to read through tear-filled eyes as the story concludes." -Library Journal (starred review) " Meissner unfurls an emotionally rich narrative... Readers will be riveted." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) " Richly drawn characters and heartbreaking, historically accurate situations combine to make a powerful reading experience." -Booklist, Praise for Only the Beautiful "Meissner delivers a nuanced and heartbreaking tale; expect to read through tear-filled eyes as the story concludes." - Library Journal "Meissner unfurls an emotionally rich narrative... Readers will be riveted." - Publishers Weekly "Richly drawn characters and heartbreaking, historically accurate situations combine to make a powerful reading experience." - Booklist American Library Association Praise for the novels of Susan Meissner "A somber, gripping tale illuminated with hope."-Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network "A story of one family's heartbreak and hope. Strong [and] resilient, Meissner's characters step off the page and into history."-Lisa Wingate, New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours "With stunning prose and keen detail, Meissner has deftly created a heady mix of love, politics, and survival--a family saga, coming-of-age tale, and riveting historical fiction all in one. A must-read!"-Pam Jenoff, author of The Orphan's Tale

Synopsis
California, 1938 - When she loses her parents in an accident, sixteen-year-old Rosanne is taken in by the owners of the vineyard where she has lived her whole life as the vinedresser's daughter. She moves into Celine and Truman Calvert's spacious house with a secret, however - Rosie sees colours when she hears sound. She promised her mother she'd never reveal her little-understood ability to anyone, but the weight of her isolation and grief proves too much for her. Driven by her loneliness, she not only breaks the vow to her mother, but in a desperate moment lets down her guard and ends up pregnant. Banished by the Calverts, Rosanne believes she is bound for a home for unwed mothers, and having lost her family, she treasures her pregnancy as the chance for a future one. But she soon finds out she is not going to a home of any kind, but to a place far worse than anything she could have imagined. Austria, 1947 - After witnessing first-hand Adolf Hitler's brutal pursuit of hereditary purity - especially with regard to 'different children' - Helen Calvert is ready to return to America for good. But when she arrives at her brother's peaceful vineyard after decades working abroad, she is shocked to learn what really happened nine years earlier to the vinedresser's daughter, a girl whom Helen had long ago befriended. In her determination to find Rosanne, Helen discovers that while the war was won in Europe, there are still terrifying battles to be fought at home., A Best Historical Fiction of Spring Pick by Amazon, PopSugar, AARP, and BookBub!
