By Mrs. Oliphant
Length13h 40m
About this audiobook
Fleeing the tyrannical grip of her impoverished but intensely proud aristocratic father, a courageous young woman strikes out alone to carve her own destiny in London. Armed with nothing but a sharp needle and an indomitable will, she builds a fashion empire from the ground up, defying the strict gender roles of her time. Even as she achieves unprecedented success, the ghosts of her highland past and a lost love continue to haunt her triumphs. Witness a triumphant saga of female entrepreneurship, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of independence.
