I was wholly swept away by this story." – Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of The Queen's Secret "A tale of daring and determination, set against the glamorous heights and harsh restrictions of aristocratic society in mid-19th century Britain." – Sir Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey Written by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, this novel follows Lady Margaret Montagu Scott, a young noblewoman navigating Victorian England’s rigid social rules.
