About this listen
Fresh from finishing school, Violet receives a double shock. Her dad announces his upcoming wedding and then confesses an old lie - her mom didn't really leave for a sanitarium 11 years ago. But why then did she leave?
Under cover of visiting the World's Fair, Violet travels to the stately Chicago home of her saintly grandmother and three eccentric great aunts. In her quest for her mother, Violet soon discovers much about faith, life, and love as she marches for women's rights, feeds slum dwellers, hob-knobs with the highfalutin, plays piano for evangelistic meetings, and ponders various marriage proposals.
Lynn Austin, multiple Christy Award-winning author of A Woman's Place, creates vivid historical settings with vibrant characters.

Good story and interesting characters.
Great listen. Enjoyed the story very much but would have liked more about their romance at the end and other close relationships. I love listening to books narrated by Jennifer Ikeda, she is so good and really embodies the different characters. I search for my next reads based on what she has narrated.

Has become a favourite!
I found myself giggling throughout the whole book. This book has become one of my favourites! Really great story that keep you reading until the end. I love the main character but I must say aunt Berdie won my heart. She doesn't say much throughout the book but she is the sweetest and so wise. Great narration throughout. i love the sense of mystery also throughout the book.

A proper pursuit.
Lynn Austin is my favourite author. This book was different from any other book of hers I’ve ever read or listened to. It was lighthearted and fun. I love how she draws you in and you get to know the characters so well. I highly recommend this book and excellent read.
