Jocelyn Green’s third and final book in the On Central Park series is her best yet. THE MANHATTAN CONFESSIONS is eerily similar to the immigration issues today, particularly in its depiction of vulnerable women facing exploitation. Her story powerfully mirrors the challenges many immigrants still face, making the narrative especially impactful. The story speaks to the plight of those taken advantage of because they are susceptible to certain individuals who prey on their circumstances.
THE STORY: [From the Publisher] Ivy Malone, the New-York Historical Society's librarian, is dedicated to preserving Manhattan's rich history, but when society grand dame Adeline King anonymously reveals her shocking life story, Ivy finds herself holding a highly coveted secret. Burdened with the responsibility of keeping Adeline's identity hidden, Ivy finds the matter increasingly complicated when two men claim ties to the elderly woman--one of them accusing Adeline of involvement in a crime.
Another dilemma brews when Ivy's cousin, Gina, is detained at Ellis Island for lack of proper documentation. Hoping an immigration service can resolve the misunderstanding, Ivy employs their help but is instead thrust into a dangerous world. With time running out, she must unravel the tangle of secrets that bind Adeline's past, Gina's freedom, and her own safety. Who can she trust, and how far is she willing to go to protect those she loves?
5 Stars Because: Unlike other novels I've read on the theme of immigration, The Manhattan Confessions delves deeper into the emotional consequences for its characters, offering a more nuanced perspective. Green’s storytelling stands out for its sensitivity to the hardships faced by immigrants and its vivid portrayal of both historical and contemporary struggles. And gives us great mystery and suspense, and romance!

About the author
The Manhattan Confessions
Imagine living in 1920’s NYC. I think it would be so interesting to pop in and experience that decade for a short time. That’s exactly what happens when reading The Manhattan Confessions by Jocelyn Green! Ivy works at the New York Historical Society and is just finishing a written account of an anonymous upper class woman who defied everyone and rose from poverty to high society…by lying to everyone and hiding her true identity. When the story is published, mysterious characters come out of the woodwork demanding an audience with the anonymous woman. One claiming that she ruined his family, the other pleading for her to come forward with the truth about his uncle. Ivy is fiercely protective of her source and friend and goes to great lengths to keep her identity secret. Meanwhile she is also trying to help her Italian cousin immigrate to the United States. What they don’t realize is that there is a very nefarious underground world that preys on the newly released immigrants from Ellis Island and their families. Ivy must do all she can to protect those she loves, even if it’s at her own peril. Thank you so much @author_jocelyn_green for gifting us this copy of your lastest book!
