"1926, Hyde Park, New York. Born to modest means but befriended by the wealthy, aspiring dress designer Pandora Carmichael has been surrounded by privilege yet never at home in it. That hasn't stopped her from dreaming-of a romance in a rarified world that could also give her the status and resources to start a business of her own. When she's introduced to a charismatic Princeton student, Pandora's future begins to fall into place. Marriage provides Pandora with a devoted husband, comfortable love, and the prominence and affluence to open a boutique. It's a fantasy realized, until scandal and tragedy upend Pandora's life and she flees Hyde Park with a heart-wrenching secret. As the Depression looms, Pandora must rethink everything she's ever wanted. From sprawling Gilded Age mansions in New York to the seedy underbelly of Greenwich Village and the stunning coastal vistas of the French Riviera, Pandora's escape is a journey of self-discovery, adventure, true love, and ambition. There are new dreams to be had, and Pandora is betting on herself to make them come true."--Page 4 of cover.
