Ann S. Stephens builds a domestic romance around marriage, family secrets and the pressures of money and social position. An anxious household and the arrival of unwelcome news set in motion a story in which private decisions affect lives beyond those who make them.
The narrative follows connected households through concealed histories, conflicting loyalties and changing prospects. Letters, discoveries and personal confrontations gradually bring the relationships into focus. This complete 1870 novel preserves the full seventy-five-chapter sequence through its conclusion, together with the original dedication and publication notices.
