Helen Miller

A young, English girl is forced to leave her hometown in England after a tragic death in her family. Leaving her beloved bulldog King Orry and ailing mother behind she is forced to cross the Atlantic and is unwittingly accosted by anarchists who are traveling to the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. In Manchester she meets her Tory leaning relatives who are involved in political intrigue, she experiences ghostly happenings in Salem, and ominous disturbances at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut. Ultimately she learns that her French lover has spurned her for another, and is forced to endure amorous attempts by deceitful men, bent on crushing her already broken heart. These and other madcap adventures await Helen Miller as she struggles to adjust to a time when manners are changing, when feminists are on the prowl, when anarchists are out for blood, and when it seems that love is only found in dreams.
