Award-winning author Lyn Cote delivers the first story in
her moving Women of Ivy Manor series about four generations
of women, set against the sprawling tapestry of the
twentieth century.
Chloe Lorraine Kimball is born at the estate of Ivy Manor in
the wee hours of the twentieth century. She is the apple of
her grandmother's eye, if not her mother and father's. For
despite a home filled with everything a young girl could
desire, she lacks the one thing she wants above all
else-unconditional love from her parents. Thinking she can
win that love through her actions, she creates a successful
life for herself in Washington, DC, as the belle of her
father's political career. Bright and beautiful, she revels
in the attention she receives from the capitol's major
players. But in the end, as her world comes crashing down
amid the opening months of the Depression, Chloe must
realize that whether or not she's capable of giving and
receiving love is something entirely up to her. And perhaps
she can finally find happiness on her own terms.
