Pre WWI, Elsa came to America with her eyes wide open, realizing it was up to her to make a life
for herself. Surviving a sweatshop in lower Manhattan, a chance job with a Long Island elite
family opens up her world. Invited in, up to a point, she unwittingly, albeit precariously, crosses
the social divide with her now open heart which puts all she worked for in jeopardy.

What a truly wonderful story I've read it three times, and with each
reading I find myself caring about the fabulous characters and their
lives even more."
-- P. J. Alderman, New York Times Bestselling Author
