The creative sisterhood of Little Women, the social scandal of Edith Wharton and the courtship mishaps of Jane Austen.
Torn between two worlds that aren\'t quite as she\'d imagined them, Ginny will realize how high the stakes are for her family, her writing, and her chance at love..
Just as she and her siblings have become swept up in the society, though, Charlie throws himself back into her path, and Ginny learns that the salon\'s bright lights may be obscuring some dark shadows.
Among painters, musicians, actors, and writers, Ginny returns to herself, even blooming under the handsome, enigmatic John\'s increasingly romantic attentions.
Though she works with newfound intensity, literary success eludes her--until she attends a salon hosted in her brother\'s writer friend John Hopper\'s Fifth Avenue mansion.
When Charlie proposes instead to a woman from a wealthy family, Ginny is devastated; shutting out her family, she holes up and turns their story into fiction, obsessively rewriting a better ending.
Virginia Loftin, the boldest of four sisters in a family living in genteel poverty, knows what she wants most: to become a celebrated novelist despite her gender, and to marry Charlie, the boy next door and her first love.
