Grace Bradley has never spoken of what really happened decades ago, when she worked as a servant in the grand estate of Riverton. But when a young film director making a movie about the Hartford family arrives at her nursing home with questions about that fateful day in 1924, Grace is thrust back into her memories—and to the secret she's kept for more than eighty years. Richly atmospheric and rife with all the drama of a wartime aristocratic household, this entrancing historical fiction enthrallingly entwines a mystery and a love story.
