Queen Victoria - one of the most famous and influential women in history. Under her reign Great Britain prospered like never before and became the world's number 1 leading power. Hundreds of books, series and movies are telling us her story until today. But what about the other Victoria, the Princess Royal and first child of the legendary queen, who was once destined to become Germany's most revolutionary empress? Out of love Vicky married the emperor-to-be Frederick Wilhelm of Prussia, called Fritz within the family, but besides that it had been a political match, for her father Albert had projected a great mission onto his daughter: To transform his liberal ideas of a constitutional monarchy in Germany into reality. How can it still be, that almost nobody remembers the mother of Queen Victorias beloved grandson Kaiser Wilhelm II.? This historical fiction takes a closer look on the woman behind her cruel fate, that would thwart all her plans of making Germany a more liberal and democratic country with her husband. Vicky's story, though almost being overlooked nowadays, shall not be forgotten.

In small town Hendersonville, North Carolina, there's a time and a place for women to open their mouths. Lydia Grace Abney doesn't care to wait on that time or that place. She walks through life without any shoes on, dirt on her skin, and wind-blown hair. Some might say she gets her classless qualities from being raised with all boys. Others say the devil is doing work in her life and holding her tongue hostage. But Lydia doesn't see anything wrong with her inability to keep her mouth shut. Especially when it comes to the ever-growing racism flooding her small, southern town. She's willing to fight tooth and nail to stand up for what she believes is right-and this particular act catches the eye of someone rather unexpected.
