Table of contents: title: THE ARRANGEMENT; title: The time is 1897, the place is Cincinnati, and beautiful Letitia Allan, at the age of seventeen, seems doomed to a predictable life devoid of excitement and romance. On the verge of a marriage arranged by her parents to a man she does not love, Letitia suddenly finds herself swept along by a tide of events that threatens to engulf her. In the course of her struggle to save her family from seemingly inevitable disaster, Letitia discovers in herself unsuspected reserves of strength -- and a passionate, abiding love for the man of her own choosing, despite the opposition of her overbearing mother and the pressures of hide-bound Society. Rebellious, defiant, ahead of her time, Letitia is every inch a heroin -- and every inch a woman.
