Little Eden

By J. B. Wadsworth

We are so much more than our mistakes

On April 1st, 1898, Naomi Manwaring finds herself booted to the curb outside the East Manhattan boarding school she has called home for the last six years. With nowhere else to go, she joins her aunt and uncle, who are "cottagers" in Newport, Rhode Island, and attempts to make her home amongst the upper crust of Gilded Age society. It doesn't take long for Naomi to find herself on the wrong side of normal where the cottagers are concerned, and life goes downhill fast. She must choose between helping a new friend or gaining acceptance from the cr me de la cr me of Gilded Age America.

Ezra Dawson has rejected his inheritance and left home to write for The New York Register, a New York newspaper. His dream of covering the Klondike Gold Rush is dashed to pieces when his editor banishes him to Newport to report on the social doings of the cottagers. Naomi Manwaring, sprightly and headstrong, immediately draws his attention. Ezra uses his journalistic skills to find out more about her, only to uncover troubling facts-facts which Naomi refuses to explain.

Naomi and Ezra both have things to hide. If Ezra discovers her secret, Naomi might lose her already precarious footing in society. And if Naomi unearths Ezra's involvement in her disgrace, she may never forgive him.
