From a life of servitude in a small Pennsylvania town, Ellen Watson is catapulted into a life she was never prepared to live - a life she never quite believes herself worthy of. As the bride of Jeremy Porter, scion of a wealthy eastern family, she enters into a world of politics, wealth, and power, a world where hypocrisy and ruthlessness reign.
