Fanny Broadmoor has grown up within the wealth and security of her family’s Thousand Islands estate, but her father’s death places her inheritance under the control of relatives whose financial interests are not necessarily her own. As disputes over money and guardianship intensify, Fanny’s friendship with Michael Atwell becomes entangled with questions of class and family approval.

The novel exposes how easily Gilded Age privilege can become a form of dependence for a young woman without legal or economic control. Fanny’s Christian convictions lead her towards compassion and honesty, but preserving both love and inheritance requires her to recognise manipulation within the family she has trusted.
