The Devoted: The tale of an altruistic young Englishwoman

By Mandy Metzger

The world for a woman in 19th century England is as small as the society in which she lives. Daphne Charter dreams of a life beyond the forests of her home, Sonora, in Southern England. She is an only daughter, clever, comfortably wealthy, pretty, and unwed. Her friends are the most important thing in her life, above finding a husband, above her own happiness. Her selflessness has cost her dearly, but she finds comfort in the good fortunes of others. Betrayal and deceit have painted an ugly picture of men's hearts, and she has given up hope of ever finding love for herself. But the arrival of a handsome stranger and the lies of another woman force Daphne to reevaluate her actions and discover who her real friends are.
