Book Overview

Bouncing along on the hard wagon seat, Lacey is veraciously giddy as she and her Uncle Robert travel to London for new farm machinery. After all, Leicester, the small farming community of her birth, is a completely different world. London in the 1790s awakens Lacey's senses, her graceful deportment, her unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and her fascination with fashions. When Robert thwarts a ruffian stealing a necklace from the Duchess of Richmond, Lacey plunges into the world of London's aristocracy, acutely aware, though, that she must return to the farm. Months later, Lacey returns to London in a posh coach when the Duchess offers to educate Lacey and develop her talents as a seamstress. Despite her love for her family, Lacey's heart longs to go. As Lacey settles in, she encounters those who snub her humble background. Determined to prove she can change the fashion world, Lacey becomes a top courtier. Finally successful, she struggles with the horrific war that's raging and her conflicting feelings for the brutally handsome Charles and the warm Edmund. Lacey provides a fascinating peek into late eighteenth-century England, when fashion was coming into its own. Wrap yourself in the rich tapestry of Lacey's story from beginning to end!
