Synopsis
A wife, a mother, and a rising club woman confront ambition, marriage, and the lure of a glittering life.
This historical novel follows a Kansas-born woman who moves to Chicago with her grocer husband and two children. As modern life and social circles press in, she discovers a new self in the pages of society columns, fashionable events, and the power of women who lead and influence. The story charts a journey from contented domestic life to the whirl of club life, and back again toward a more honest, grounded sense of purpose.
Set in a world of genteel salons, boardroom alliances, and public campaigns, the book foregrounds a woman’s struggle to balance family, duty, and personal aspiration. It raises timeless questions about ambition, community, and what it means to live with integrity in a busy, changing era.
- Follow a pivotal social ascent and the costs it exacts on home life
- See how club leadership shapes friendships, politics, and personal choices
- Witness a dramatic shift toward self-discovery and personal honesty
Ideal for readers who enjoy early 20th-century fiction, character-driven dramas, and stories about women's lives, responsibilities, and growth.
