"The tantalizing story of Julia Lambert, a woman of breathtaking poise and talent, a woman comfortably surrounded by servants, Chippendale armchairs, and admirers galore. And it seems that nothing can ruffle her satin feathers until the quiet stranger who had come to balance the books challenges Julia's very sense of self, and in the process, her ability to put on whatever face she desires for her public."
