About this book
A summer invitation to a wealthy aunt's West Virginia home turns family jealousy into a contest for a rich husband. Dainty Chase has just finished school in Richmond and hopes to become a teacher. Her cousins Olive Peyton and Ela Craye want Lovelace Ellsworth for themselves, and they fear that Dainty's beauty will give her the advantage. With money tight at home, even the cost of a new dress becomes part of their spiteful planning.
Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller builds this romance around unequal fortunes, anxious hopes and deliberate family schemes. The opening follows the cousins' effort to leave Dainty behind by changing their travel plans. Later scenes bring disputed letters, threats over an inheritance and a wedding gathering thrown into confusion.
