Description
In 1880s Birmingham, Angelica Chastain flees from her past with her young son, William. She secures a job as a governess and marries Stanley Hampton, a wealthy widower who seems to offer her the future she's always envisioned for her son. As Angelica builds a new life, the people in her husband's circle begin to question her motives. The truth about her past threatens to expose her secrets, putting everything she's built at risk. When tragedy looms, Angelica must decide how far she'll go to keep her secrets safe and when love for her child tips into obsession. This gripping tale of Victorian England weaves together themes of obsession, ambition, and murder, set against the backdrop of a society where the past is impossible to escape.
