Chapter Excerpt
"Superbly written and highly recommended... The movement for women's liberation and its intersection with the fate of one woman trapped in a turbulent and unhappy marriage form the substance of an exciting, emotional, reaching novel..."
~
The Midwest Book Review

"This late-Victorian love triangle opens with the emotional impact of a runaway train and ends in a way that will satisfy the heart... Ms. Karp has created a time machine in her attention to details of everyday life and societal norms of the late 19th century...

Ms. Magazine Bookshelf

"The love triangle creates conflict that builds to a juggernaut of suspense...
A great story...one that will stay with me."
~The Historical Novels Review

"Karp has written an exquisitely plotted tale of female angst with her portrayal of Victorian expectations and morals, and sometimes-backward logic... Her characters jump off the page and become real, three-dimensional friends who dwell in the mind for days after the last page is turned..."
