    Summary

    “Oh yes, he is that type of man, I think. I am guessing that he may like some flattery, but that’s not all he wants. He’s ambitious. He wants someone who will relentlessly go to battle for him, follow him wherever he goes, at whatever cost.”

    “And what I want is to get out of my parents’ clutches, to go as far away as possible, and into a dress that is as beautiful as yours. And have somewhere to wear it to. Flattering a man and supporting him at all costs seems like a small price to pay.”

    A young Bertha Russell isn't afraid of hard work to climb out of the poverty that her immigrant parents raised her in. When the up-and-coming railroad tycoon, George Russell, steps into the hotel where she's a waitress, she begins to envision a path to a better future for herself. What happens next is a slow climb out of her life and into a new, gilded world.
