Book excerpt: 1915, New York: After the gunshots that roused the Great War, eighteen-year-old Franceska immigrates to America ballooned with the hope of rising above her quaint beginnings. The jagged realities of daily domestic service work quickly deflate her picturesque vision, yet when Sara Delano Roosevelt selects her for temporary work, Frances senses her American dream is about to begin. With the arrival of Franklin and his family for Christmas, Frances finds herself captivated by his alluring charm. Franklin's generous spirit helps her through the most difficult times and pulls her into a gilded world of belonging. Could indiscretion cost her everything she'd gained? Or propel her further into the life she'd dreamed of? -- Written by Frances's great-granddaughter, this novel will delight readers of historical fiction, inviting them into a century-old mystery of a servant and her son.
