Advance Praise

“Of Jasmine and Roses is an engaging and thoughtful debut by Jill E. Warner. Readers will become immersed in the plight of Anna Beasley as she navigates her place in a society that seems to block her every ambition. I was most caught up in Anna’s intriguing character battle as she comes to terms with her heritage, her extended family, and who she really is to the core. With a deft plot, unforeseen obstacles, and a charming romance, you’ll want to make this your next weekend read.”
