Historical
Olivia Monday, an impoverished widow, has taken a
position as "secretary" to an eccentric, scandalous rake
- a divorced man with a brood of eight children and at
least two gun-shot wounds. For one year, against the
advice of her remaining family members, she agrees to
live in his remote Cornish castle and put pen to paper on
his behalf. Despite everything she's heard about him, she's unafraid.
Olivia welcomes the distraction this unusual post will
provide— as well as the large fee— because the
alternative of relying on relatives to put a roof over
her head is intolerable. True Deverell has decided it's time to set the record
straight. He means to dictate his memoirs to this little
widow who, according to the instructions he sent to his
solicitor, should merely be plain and have a neat hand.
Those are his only requirements. He doesn't want any
distractions, has endured his fill of scandal and intends
now to leave the "True Story" on paper so that perhaps,
one day, people will forgive his mistakes. But when Mrs. Olivia Monday arrives on his doorstep in
her leaky boots and crumpled bonnet, True realizes that
perhaps his story isn't over yet.
