Chapter 1

Mothers gasp made me want to melt. I touched the tips of my dripping mass of curls and waited.
"I am speechless Amelia. Utterly overcome. Again you choose the most inopportune
time to render yourself completely unpresentable. Why today of all days?"
She didn't sound speechless, she sounded angry. Now she was blaming me for not
reading her mind.

Fifteen-year-old Amelia's goal is to not end up like her sister, married to a man she can't stand. But since moving to Louisiana, that seems to be Mother's every thought. Will Father's new ideas give her the freedom she desires or put her in danger and push her closer to the future she's desperate to avoid.
