520    Ablaze against the bustle of nineteenth-century 
       Philadelphia is this sweeping saga of three generations of
       strong, indomitable women � all seemingly cursed when it 
       comes to love. At its center is young Lilly Armstrong, a 
       beauty on the brink of womanhood, too brave and too 
       fearless to settle for the status quo. In a booming city 
       animated by inventors, builders and artists, and now 
       excited for the great Centennial Exhibition, Lilly aspires
       to carve out a life of independent freedom for herself and
       her women kin � lives not dependent on men. But of course
       there is a man � a man who admires Lilly, who thinks like
       she does and who would move heaven and earth to help Lilly
       realize her dreams. With the guidance of her quietly 
       resilient mother and the unexpected aid of her estranged 
       and powerful grandmother � and despite the foolish 
       meddling of her shallow and ambitious sister � Lilly is 
       determined to lead her family of women into the challenge 
       of the next century on her own terms, forging an empire 
       that will survive for generations. Lilly intends for her 
       family to have it all, not the least of which is enduring 
       love. Fans of VIRGIN RIVER will enjoy this timeless novel 
       of new beginnings, untamable passion and all-redeeming 
       love. Praise for Robyn Carr's historicals: "A remarkable 
       storyteller ... the plot moves swiftly and cleverly. A 
       well-told tale." -Library Journal "This is no routine 
       romance ... Carr presents a personal, inside view of life 
       ... in historically accurate detail. A reader's delight." 
       -Bestsellers "Thanks to sophisticated character 
       development and elegantly simple prose, Carr deftly 
       handles the themes of betrayal, envy, greed and the 
       psychological patterns that recur over generations." -
