She Walks In Beauty by Siri Mitchell

"She Walks In Beauty" by Siri Mitchell - 398 pages


Have you ever wondered what society life was really like in the late 1800s? From tight corsets to crazy ideals on beauty,  "She Walks in Beauty" immerses the reader in the center of 19th century America among the elite. Our view is through the eyes of 17 year old Clara, daughter of a wealthy doctor with a hidden past. Clara is being groomed to be the "belle of the ball" and secure the affections of the most eligible bachelor. With her well-educated mind, Clara wishes to be more than just a wife in high society but must sacrifice her wants to support her father and aunt's agenda. The task becomes much harder when Clara meets a man that appreciates her for who she really is. True colors are displayed when the past her father and aunt have carefully buried comes to light.
