Description
Set against the glittering extravagance of Gilded Age America, this sweeping historical novel follows Arabella Huntington’s rise from poverty in Richmond to the heights of New York society. Armed with striking beauty, formidable business instincts, and an unwavering determination to control her own destiny, Arabella builds a fortune while navigating a complicated relationship with railroad magnate Collis Huntington and the rigid rules of the elite. As scandal, social ambition, and an unexpected romance threaten the life she has carefully constructed, she must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for power, independence, and love. Inspired by a remarkable true story, the novel explores reinvention, class, ambition, and the price of defying convention.
