A young artist-in-training opens a window on high-society life, where art, ambition, and heartache collide.
A coming‑of‑age story set against Newport’s glittering social scene, it follows a girl who learns what she can become when she steps beyond the rules of a world that pretends to be perfect.
In the midst of wealth and social expectation, a budding painter tests her boundaries and discovers the pull between duty and personal freedom. The book traces her awakening as she grapples with family pressures, friendships, and the lure of love, all while trying to make honest art in a world that prizes appearances.
With intimate scenes of debutantes, dances, and the tension of living under a public gaze, this edition explores ambition, identity, and the costs of choosing one’s own path.
Ideal for readers who enjoy character‑driven coming‑of‑age stories set in historical society.
