In late 19th-century Newport, railroad magnate Sam Driver seeks to break into high society to secure the future of his daughter Jenny. His ambition clashes with Jenny's romance with a working-class Irishman, which defies conventions and her father's plans.
Published in 2007, the novel is set in Newport (Rhode Island) during the American Gilded Age.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and stories of social ascent among the 19th-century American elite.
