Augusta Travers has spent the last three years avoiding the
stifling expectations of New York society and her family’s constant
disappointment. As the nation’s most fearless--and
reviled--columnist, Gussie travels the country with her Kodak
camera and spins stories for women unable to leave hearth and home.
But when her adventurous nature lands her in the middle of a
scandal, an opportunity to leave America offers the perfect
escape.
Arriving in India, she expects only a nice visit with childhood
friends, siblings Catherine and Gabriel, and escapades that will
further her career. Instead, she finds herself facing a plague
epidemic, confusion over Gabriel’s sudden appeal, and the
realization that what she wants from life is changing. But slowing
down means facing all the hurts of her past that she’s long been
trying to outrun. And that may be an undertaking too great even for
her.
