http://schema.org/description
- "Twenty-six-year-old Adelaide Pride stepped out of the horse-drawn buggy to gaze one last time at the charred remains of her childhood home. Six generations of Prides had lived and entertained there under warm Southern skies. That was before the Civil War robbed Addie of her youth, her parents, and the man she would have married! Fortunately, an aunt and uncle had taken her in, but they could scarcely afford to feed themselves. Not wishing to remain a burden, Addie accepted a position as a companion to a Yankee spinster in napa Valley, California. Very soon she would journey by train to the remote land that was untouched by conflict and overflowing with financial prosperity and social opportunities. Did she dare to hope that her dreams of love and belonging were yet possible?"
- "After her grandparents' southern home is burned by a departing Union army, Adelaide Pride takes a job as companion to Mrs. Amberley, "an unrefined, disagreeable gossip who is jealous of Addie's natural grace and beauty."--Cover."
