Description
In 1880s Savannah, Essie's aspirations are at odds with her circumstances. She is trapped between the life she has and the one she desires. A chance encounter with Dorcas Vashon changes everything. With a new identity, Victoria, Essie gains access to a world of refinement and culture in Washington, D.C. As Victoria navigates this new reality, she must confront the choices she makes about herself. Will she sacrifice her true self for the life she's been given? This thought-provoking novel explores themes of identity, class, and belonging in the late 19th century.
