A Tale of Love and Fortunes in Old New York
In a colonial New York setting, Charlotte Alstyne and her betrothed George Gilmore face a stern paternal plan.

Charlotte endures hardship, supporting her father and sacrificing comfort, while George’s absence and the family’s ruin test their devotion and resilience.
