Is this a tale told by a madwoman -- or a desperate reach for survival...?
Jessica led a very comfortable and self-centered life as an orphaned heiress doted upon by a kindly spinster aunt. But when Aunt Amy suddenly married, Jessica found her home and life was slowly but surely being taken over by her aunt's new husband -- with Aunt Amy's hearty approval. Was it concern for her strangely failing health -- or was it concern for her money....?
******************************
Jessica Winston, orphaned heiress, leads a very comfortable, rather self-centered life until her spinster aunt decides to wed.
Aunt Amy, although past the first flush of youth, is still a pretty woman, and, in spite of the fact that Jessica is not too enthusiastic about the forth-coming nuptials, she decides that it would not be fair to stand in the way of her aunt's happiness.
But by securing the happiness of her aunt, Jessica discovers that her own is in jeopardy; and not only happiness but freedom, sanity, and even life itself.
