A gripping story of two sisters, bound by blood, tested by fate, and separated by secrets.
"Two sisters. One devastating secret. A journey across the ocean that will change their lives forever."
In the glamorous heart of the 1930s, Penelope and Maya are living the ultimate high life. Beautiful, young, and carefree, they are the city's favorite poster models, painted by the dashing artist Zachary. But behind closed doors, their fortune is collapsing.
When their father loses everything to a gambling addiction, the sisters are forced into arranged marriages with the sons of a wealthy overseas patriarch. Before they can adjust to their new reality, war strikes—shattering their world and leaving their parents dead. With no choice left, Penny and Maya must embark on a dangerous escape across land and sea to reach the shores of America.
Upon arriving in New York, their struggles only worsen. Detained at immigration and carrying a shocking secret that could destroy them both, Penny makes a ultimate sacrifice: she claims her sister’s newborn daughter, Joy, as her own.
Spanning decades through the Cold War, secret rivalries, and dangerous betrayals, New York Girls is an unforgettable tale of survival, sisterhood, and the dramatic lengths a woman will go to protect the people she loves.
