This is the only book by Alexandra Ripley I can stand. Mary McAlister is an orphan at a convent school. The only clue she has to her maternal past is a little box filled with weird stuff. The box leads her to New Orleans, where she (of course) falls into every puddle of bad luck she sees. Plucky Mary perseveres. She becomes an in-demand dress designer and meets the man of her dreams. He seems great, but turns out to be a cad! Then she finds her family and the whole city gets yellow fever. Blah, blah, blah, historical stuff happens and we find out the cad is just a heroic moron and they live happily ever after.
I swear my mother in law gave me this book, which strikes me as hilarious.
