Turn of the century novelist Lilly Westbrook learns that being faithful to her calling means more than just putting pen to paper.
It'sΒ the summer of 1899 in Newport, Rhode Island, and Lilly Westbrook is struggling to conceal her career from family and friends because of the stigma attached toΒ dime novels. Lilly feels good about her secret-after all, she's enlightening working class girlsΒ with her books and honoring God by using her talents to His glory.
But her secret is threatened when Jackson Grail, a former suitor, becomes Lilly's new publisher.Β He's determined to revive his floundering publishing house by maximizing their most promising--and most secretive--author. His plan? Find "Fannie Cole" and convince her toΒ go public.
When aΒ gossip columnistΒ discovers Lilly's true identity, she finds that being faithful to her calling involves more than just putting pen to paper. It requires that she stand up for her faith and for herself, no matter the consequences.
