About this book

Catherine Sloper falls in love with the charming Morris Townsend, but her wealthy father distrusts his intentions. Their disagreement leaves Catherine caught between the man she hopes to marry and the parent who controls her future.

Set in nineteenth-century New York, the story follows courtship, inheritance, and the quiet growth of Catherine’s independence. Its drama rests on conversations, withheld affection, and choices that cannot easily be taken back.
