description: By the time sixteen-year-old Anne Becher made her debut in Bath, her grandmother had already planned her future; she was to marry Frank Gordon, very rich and socially prominent. Anne demurely followed grandmother's wishes, until she fell in love with a penniless soldier, Harry Carmichael-Smyth. But Mrs. Becher was positive that she knew what was best for Anne, and that her "love" was merely an infatuation. Although Anne was sure that nothing could stand between her and the man she loved, she did not realize how far-reaching, and powerful, her grandmother's influence could be. Anne had only her love to combat the forces her grandmother could call up -- and in the world in which Anne lived, this was a poor ally at best...(Based on the true love story of Anne Becher and Captain Harry Carmichael-Smyth.)
