Teresa July has led a hard life, but now she has a chance to put her train-robbing past behind her. Armed with a new job as a cook to one of Philadelphia's elite families, Teresa is determined to start her life anew, and nothing - not even her boss' stuck-up (and far too handsome) son - is going to stand in her way. Madison Nance is sick of his mother taking in women from the wrong side of the tracks, just to see them turn on her generosity. That's why it's up to him to keep a close eye on Teresa's every move.

Alva Smith, her Southern family destitute after the Civil War, married into one of America’s great Gilded Age dynasties: the newly wealthy but socially shunned Vanderbilts. Alva defied convention for women of her time, asserting power within her marriage and becoming a leader in the women's suffrage movement. In A Well-Behaved Woman, Therese Anne Fowler paints a glittering world of enormous wealth contrasted against desperate poverty, of social ambition and social scorn, of friendship and betrayal, and an unforgettable story of a remarkable woman.

Raised in post-Revolution Granville, Massachusetts, James Gould could only imagine the beauty and warmth of the lands to the south. It was there that he longed to build bridges and lighthouses from his very own designs and plans. His gripping story unfolds as Gould follows his dream to the raw settlement of Bangor on the Penobscot River, St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia, lawless Spanish East Florida, and back - at last and finally - to St. Simons.

Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire, is the youngest of the famously witty brood that includes the writers Jessica and Nancy, who wrote when Deborah was born, "How disgusting of the poor darling to go and be a girl." Deborah's effervescent memoir chronicles her remarkable life, from an eccentric but happy childhood in the Oxfordshire countryside, to tea with Adolf Hitler and her controversially political sister Unity in 1937, to her marriage to the second son of the Duke of Devonshire.

My Great-Great Grandmother's story
I am very grateful for Linda Metcalf writing this engaging fictional book based in great part on historical events. Julia and Haller Nutt were my great-great-grandparents. I am a descendant of their son, Haller, Jr., and his consensual relationship and life with a mulatto woman named Annie Coleman. My grandfather, Oliver Calvin Nutt was their son along with his two sisters. Metcalf has brilliantly used historical documents, census reports, family letters, newspaper articles, and careful research to offer listeners a compelling story of fortitude and resilience. Julia was a fearless Southern Belle who remained strong in the face of financial losses and family upheaval to maintain her dream home, Longwood, as best she could. She valiantly dealt with her racial bigotry to transform into a very compassionate and charitable woman. Being an African American heir of the Nutt and Longwood legacy is painful and challenging, yet it confirms many of the formidable attributes I see present in my current Nutt family relatives. This is an inspiring audiobook selection!
