Of Trust & Heart

Lady Harriet Cunningham leaves Scotland for New York in 1923 with a clear family obligation: find a suitable husband and protect the reputation attached to her father's title. The life she is expected to choose leaves little room for what she actually wants. A hidden speakeasy introduces her to singer Rosalie Smith and to a desire that makes respectability feel less like security than confinement. Their connection develops in a world where prohibition is only one of the forces governing what must remain concealed. As duty presses Harriet toward marriage, both women must reckon with the distance between an acceptable future and one that might allow them to love honestly.
