The Black Velvet Coat

“In Jill G. Hall’s lovely debut novel, a vintage coat and the brass key discovered in its pocket provide the foundation for the alternating stories of two women from different eras. As we read, we follow Anne and Sylvia as they navigate love and loss, heartbreak, and triumph. The Black Velvet Coat is an absolute delight.”
—Midge Raymond, author of Forgetting English

“Jill G. Hall creates a novel with two unforgettable characters whose lives, though generations apart, are inexplicably intertwined, which gives you the qualities you want in a great story―mystery, suspense, and romance.”
—Judy Reeves, author of Wild Women, Wild Voices

“The Black Velvet Coat is a story about fate and friendship and love. These characters will break your heart in all the best ways.”
—T. Greenwood, author of Two Rivers, Bodies of Water, and The Forever Bridge
