Marigold Downe: Part One

A portrait of coming-of-age in 1870s Philadelphia, when religion, status, motherhood, and men were every woman's master.

Marigold Downe was born with a silver spoon and a headstrong disposition, reared in a stately manor at a privileged distance from the bustling, industrial city. But when womanhood calls, it quickly divides her peaceful past from an uncertain future, where she finds herself in attendance at a Catholic boarding school, as fearsome as it is foreign.

Thrust towards harsh new truths that whittle away at the girl she'd been, Marigold embarks on a determined journey of faith and a pursuit of identity. But when sex and death shake her foundation and betrayal mars what matters most, she returns home once more and gives love a chance instead.

If the cross couldn't save her, perhaps a wedding will.

For fans of Charlotte Brontë, Margaret Atwood and Diana Gabaldon.
