DAISIES FROM ASHES, Second Edition

Set in the early seventies, DAISIES FROM ASHES delves into the lives of residents in a tenement building. The characters have formed a loyal, tight-knit family. They share dreams, celebrate one another's milestones, fall in love and plan their futures. Three strong, independent women, Joyce, Sandra, and Olivia have embarked on career changes in mid-life. As lives become altered in unimaginable ways, the three women rely on one another to deal with their catastrophic losses.
