"The sparkle, gaiety, and intrigues of international society danced about lovely Faith Marlowe as she grew up in the fabled cities of Europe. And her later marriage to a German baron had all the elements of a storybook romance. It was not "happily ever after," however, when Faith discovered she loved another man more than her husband. Torn with anguish and joy by her conflicting loves for husband, child, and the other man, she fled to her native America to find an answer for her heart and the fulfillment of her destiny. The world of great drama spanning the brilliant Continental capitals and the whirl of Washington could only be portrayed this intimately by one of our greatest writers, Frances Parkinson Keyes."
