Early orphaned, now grown to maturity, lovely redhead Letty Hammond's need for ties leads her far afield from her simple beginnings in the tiny village of Marlingham on the Cornish Coast of England in the 1890's.
An invitation arrives from America. . .one she cannot possibly refuse, as it may lead her to her long lost and supposedly identical twin, Bethany, and their older brother, Gregory. She visits New York in an effort to follow clues that lead back and forth across the Atlantic. . .first as a penniless orphan, then, suddenly, as a wealthy heiress.
Mystery and intrigue, deceit and danger, unwarranted hatred and obsessive love, even murder and madness dog her heels as she runs from a past that never existed toward a life she hopes to claim as her own. The author has drawn upon her unique knowledge of human nature to portray a panoramic picture of Letty's action-filled world.
