SEATTLE, 1888-- Chicago socialite Geneva Langley
is a woman used to pushing boundaries. When she inadvertently pushes too far,
she finds herself banished, along with her husband, to Seattle, Washington
Territory. In 1888, Seattle is a city on the cusp of greatness, but there
Ginny feels stifled and alone, scorned by what passes for high society,
suffocated by her husband’s forgiveness, and always cognizant of her need to
atone. Beatrice Wilkes is an actress
who has lived by her wits since she first set out on her own at the age of
fifteen. She has learned not to trust, that in the theater friends rarely
stay friends for long. She longs for
a career as a leading lady on the stage, although that dream seems to grow
less possible with every passing hour. When she meets Geneva Langley, Bea
pegs her correctly as the kind of woman who has had everything handed to her,
who understands nothing of real life. Fate—and the great Seattle fire
of 1889—will bind these two different women together in a dark and perilous
alliance. Neither suspects that their relationship will challenge everything
they know about themselves, or that it will set them on a path that must lead
to either redemption or damnation. More information coming soon Copyright 2009 Megan Chance/Photo Credit
