520    "Illinois, 1874: With a birthmark covering half her face, 
       thirteen-year-old Madelyn Branch is accustomed to cold and
       awkward greetings, and expects no less in Reliance, 
       Illinois. After all, her mother, Rebecca, was careful not 
       to mention a daughter in the Matrimonial Times ad which 
       brought them to the struggling river town. When Rebecca 
       weds, Madelyn poses as her mother's younger sister, and 
       earns a grudging berth in her new house. Deeply injured by
       her mother's deceptions, Madelyn soon leaves to enter the 
       service of Miss Rose Werner, prodigal daughter of the 
       town's founder. Miss Rose is a suffragette and purveyor of
       black market birth control who sees in Madelyn a project 
       and potential acolyte. Madelyn, though, wants to feel 
       beautiful and loved, and she pins her hopes on William 
       Stark, a young photographer, and a haunted Civil War 
       veteran. Volmer's large-hearted, captivating novel takes 
       in not just precocious, romantic Madelyn, but a whole town
       and way of life. Gossip, murder, love and hate, lace-
       making and drunken fist fights, sinners, saviors, and even
       Mark Twain himself grace the pages of Reliance, Illinois, 
       a brilliant and beautiful window into American life during
       a period of tumultuous change."--|cProvided by publisher.
