It seems a perfect backdrop for what Violet Hayes longs to experience: a little mystery, a little romance.
To be honest, it is more than a little mystery. She schemed her way to Chicago to discover the mother she barely remembered. As for romance - well, with the help of her grandmother and three great aunts, that is coming along nicely as well - perhaps too well. Each of her relatives - including her saintly grandmother - seems to have a separate agenda for her.
In the course of a summer, Violet''s world will open wide before her eyes. But in the wake of discovery, she must find a way to determine which path - and which man - will ultimately be the right lifetime choice for her.
