In the year of 1915, Lenny Upchurch never thought that she was anything special. Her father left her family when she was baby. All the girls at school would remind her that she would turn out just like her mother, a drunken wench. But little did she know her life was about to change. With just a knock at the door, Lenny soon learns that her father was the Duke of Northumberland in England and must return just in time to find out he has died. Now Lenny and her brother, Jerry are sucked in to the life of the British elite while the war just across the water is erupting. As she learns about what she is soon to become, a duchess, Lenny sees even among all the chaos there may be something that she can do to change the world around her.

We, as people tend to be escapists. We search for a way out, whether it's with someone we like, friends, or music...but some of us take a more dangerous road- a more self destructive turn and in the end, it leaves us empty. Growing up physically is inevitable....but what haunts us, what we fear most will keep us trapped in a state in which we cannot return and sometimes we don't even want to.
