Description: This story takes place in the 1900s. Nancy Dodd grew up a privileged life until her father died, leaving her orphaned. An overbearing uncle becomes her legal guardian. Nan ends up playing on vaudeville with the Corbin family; Pete is a hoofer and Beatrice is a writer. Nan has no interest in boys, and she does not want to settle down and get married. She finds a kindred spirit in Beatrice, and as they grow up, they find they have more and more in common. She wants a life free of fear where she and Beatrice can live together.
