Irreverent and resourceful, Lillian Betts has her dreams.

But in 1891, a woman with ambitions to rise into the city’'s upper echelon requires more than hopes and wishes.One problem is Lillian’'s a maid, who'’s snatching illicit kisses with her employer’'s son.

Another is her sister, who wants her help caring for illegitimate babies in exchange for 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 her hopes of becoming a lady.For secrets are hard to keep, and some people would love nothing more than to watch her fail.
