About the book
Tragedy sets a courageous young woman on a dangerous course leading to heartbreak...or true love. She hated men. They had killed her father, destroyed her mother, and now the same men were after the lovely Farley MacPherson. So she fled her cabin in the Badlands, and, by the greatest luck, made friends who would bring her into the highest New York society. Or was it luck when her so-called friends shocked her with their dissolute ways. And how long could she go on hating men, when somewhere, very close to her, was the one man in her life to be trusted and cherished forever more?
