Helen’s life is shaped by love and the terrible cost it demands. Set in the early twentieth century, a single accident brings loss and public scrutiny that will define her future. As war reshapes the world, she learns how a woman’s lack of legal rights can turn grief and devotion into weapons. Refusing shame, Helen survives through friendship, loyalty, love, and desire, living on her own terms. This story has adult themes.
