Thank you for confirming that I was asking in the right place and that it was done. I really appreciate it :)
Hi! an I please get help updating my book description to the following: Romance. Riches. Respect.
You can’t have all three…
When Lydie Marland is plucked from poverty and thrust into the opulent world of her oil-tycoon uncle, she learns that wealth comes with strings attached. She moves to the humble town of Ponca City, Oklahoma, but behind her new status as the niece of its richest citizen lies a web of broken promises, forbidden love, and dangerous secrets.
As she blossoms into womanhood, Lydie battles her uncle’s increasing possessiveness with fitful attempts at freedom. But even in the tumult of the 1920s, scandal is just a misstep away — and a woman’s only currency is her reputation.
As the walls of Lydie’s gilded cage close in, the key slips further out of reach. Faced with a life she no longer recognizes, she must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice: her freedom, her heart, or her very identity.
Grit meets glamor in this gripping women’s literature novel — based on a true story — that illuminates the struggles of women in early 20th-century America.
Spanning two decades of seismic societal change Lydie’s story is one of rebellion, resilience, and the cost of finding her voice in a world that demands her silence.
Thank you!
