  • "1893: Violet Hayes träumt vom grossen Abenteuer, von der wahren Liebe, vom echten Leben. Die Weltausstellung in Chicago liefert der Tochter aus gutem Hause den perfekten Vorwand, der Obhut ihres Vaters zu entkommen und ihre Zukunft selbst in die Hand zu nehmen. Zumal sie gerade herausfinden musste, dass ihr gesamtes Leben auf einer Lüge basiert. Doch gänzlich frei ist Violet auch in Chicago nicht. Sie wohnt bei ihrer tiefgläubigen Grossmutter, die ganz eigene Vorstellungen davon hat, wie ihre Enkelin ihr Leben gestalten sollte. Und auch ihre drei Grosstanten, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten, versuchen Violet für ihr jeweiliges Lebenskonzept zu begeistern. Violet hat die Qual der Wahl. Was möchte sie werden: Heilige, Suffragette, Dame der Gesellschaft? Oder doch lieber Detektivin? Und welchem ihrer Verehrer soll sie ihr Herz öffnen? Chicago eröffnet Violet eine Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten. Doch ihren eigenen Weg zu finden, erweist sich als das grösste Abenteuer ... Lynn Austin ist verheiratet, hat drei Kinder und lebt in Illinois. Ihre grosse Familie, die vier Generationen umfasst, ist ebenso Aufgabe wie Inspiration für sie. Wenn ihr nach dem Tagesgeschäft noch Zeit bleibt, ist sie als Vortragsreisende unterwegs und widmet sich der Schriftstellerei."
