'Lillian Betts - irreverent and resourceful - has her dreams, but in 1891, a woman with ambitions to rise into the city's upper echelon requires more than hopes and wishes. The only trouble is Lillian's a maid snatching illicit kisses with her employer's son, and her sister wants help caring for illegitimate babies in exchange for small premiums.
'Taking a well-earned rest in Dutton Park, Lillian witnesses a mother deliver her baby in a grove of trees and abandon it. She must make a quick decision, one that may very well snuff out all hope of becoming a lady. Secrets are hard to keep. Some people would love nothing more than to watch her fail.'
