"A whirlwind…A truly wonderful read." —Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Spectacular
Love, loss, scandal, and specters haunt this fictional tell-all narrated by the real Gilded Age heiress Aimee Crocker.
Aimee Crocker is no stranger to a scandal—she’s a Bohemian legend, with her tattoos, pet snakes, and more than a few husbands over the years. But behind Aimee''s public notoriety, there''s private pain.
When Aimee is ten years old, as the night dips into the witching hour, the Woman in White appears to her. Minutes later, Aimee''s father is dead—and Aimee inherits a fortune. But the Woman in White never really leaves Aimee, appearing as a sinister specter before every tragedy in her life. Despite Aimee''s wealth, her cross-continental travels, and her increasingly shocking progression through husbands, Aimee is haunted by the unidentifiable Woman''s mysterious motivations.
Real-life heiress Aimee Crocker blazed an unbelievable trail of public scandal and private tragedy. Her life was stranger than fiction and brighter than the stars, and she whirled through her days as if she was being chased by something larger than herself.
Perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and HBO’s The Gilded Age, Macallister spins an unforgettable tale and brilliantly takes us into Aimee’s world of love, loss, and everything in between.
