Unveiled
"A Story of Duplicity and Constancy" Fallen from good fortune in the years following her mother's death and her father's recent and shocking imprisonment, Helen Stratford faces new acquaintances and a volatile future in her small, hostile town. With the rise of an unsavory suitor, and time running short in death row, step into the pages of Helen's life as she struggles under the increasing weight of social condemnation, scorn, misconception, and deception. **** Author's Note: (My focus is not for historical or geographical accuracy but to share a story inspired by many specific aspects of England's people and history and most specifically its Regency period. People, names, places, events, and customs will not be altogether accurate or congruent when studied as purely historical. Perhaps my story would better have fit the "fiction" genre, yet due to my drawing from many aspects of history nonetheless, I decidedly labeled "Unveiled" as historical fiction with the fiction taking more precedence than the historical.)Complete
