The year is 1905, and 17 year old Lucy Bok has everything a girl could want in life - an incredibly rich and devoted father, acres of forestry on a beautiful Florida mansion, and the affections of a millionaire's son, Andrew Banks. But deep within she is a tormented girl who feels like an outcast amongst the other fine folk, and falls madly in love with the attractive Phillip Newton, who rings the chimes every hour in the bell-tower. When her father is accused of murdering Andrew Banks' father because of a years-ago rivalry, she is determined to clear his name, and enlists Andrew and Phillip to help her. But everything is not what it seems, and as she discovers more, she is filled with more questions. Is it possible for her, Lucy Bok of Bok Tower Gardens, to help her family and find some meaning in this life? Is the murderer on her back? And, the most haunting question of all, what if her father is not as innocent as she thought he was?
