About the book:

Everyone loves Adelia Hathaway. After all, Adelia makes everything fun. She has a perfect life and not a care in the world. It’s summer break, and Adelia invites her dear friend, Millicent Gilbert, to her home in Cincinnati, Ohio. She intends to bring Millicent further out of her shell, teach her about life in a big city, and show Millicent that she, too, has the makings of a fine aristocrat.  Everything takes a dramatic turn when Adelia and her brother, Alex, uncover a family secret. Adelia had thought Millicent’s personal life was complicated, but this is far worse. Adelia’s carefree attitude is suddenly forced, and she has no idea how to make things right again. No one can know this secret, and Adelia will do everything in her power to keep that from happening.
