520    As the Victorian Age draws to a close, lonely and 
       brokenhearted, Grace Woodruff fights for her sisters' 
       rights to happiness while sacrificing any chance for her 
       own. The eldest of seven daughters, Grace is the core of 
       strength around which the unhappy members of the Woodruff 
       family revolve. As her disenchanted mother withdraws to 
       her rooms, Grace must act as a buffer between her violent,
       ambitious father and the sisters who depend upon her. 
       Rejected by her first love and facing a spinster?s future,
       she struggles to hold the broken family together through 
       her father?s infidelity, one sister?s alcoholism, and 
       another?s out-of-wedlock pregnancy by an unsuitable match.
       Caring for an illegitimate half-brother affords Grace an 
       escape, though short-lived. Forced home by illness and 
       burdened with dwindling finances, Grace faces fresh 
       anguish ?and murder? when her first love returns to wreck 
       havoc in her life. All is not lost, however. In the midst 
       of tragedy, the fires of her heart are rekindled by 
       another. Will the possibility of true love lead Grace to 
       relinquish her responsibilities in the house of women and 
       embrace her own right to happiness?
