buildings, or the comfortable estates. Readers will get a thrill
out of reading this lovely historical romance."--Publishers Weekly
"With her gifts for writing setting, characterization and history,
Elizabeth Camden gives readers of her newest novel a fascinating
glimpse behind the scenes of turn-of-the-century rival news
agencies. . . . But amid the relatable characters and intriguing
history, Camden also introduces readers to the other side of the
era--corruption, insane asylums and the tenements--and raises
social awareness that can be applied to the world today.
"--RT Book Reviews
