Description

From childhood to betrothal, Helen Marchant grows up on a comfortable country estate under the devoted care of her progressive father, only to find that an idyllic upbringing cannot shield her from life’s difficult choices. As Helen comes of age, questions of independence, responsibility, grief, and love begin to challenge the secure world she has always known. Set in the changing social landscape of the early twentieth century, this thoughtful contemporary novel explores the tensions between family expectations and personal fulfillment. Notable for its autobiographical elements, it offers a more intimate and reflective portrait of its author’s gifts beyond her celebrated historical romances.
