Description

Cora Leslie moves through wealthy Southern society until her mixed heritage is revealed and rejection, injustice, and forbidden love close in. Braddon's story of identity, prejudice, and the moral cost of a world built on inequality. Spoken as when one secret ancestry can undo every carefully earned welcome.
