Lara Rose Diefendor has no idea the early summer of 1910 would be her last as a naive thirteen year old. She'd been requested for service as a personal maid to the society heiress, Ruth Baillie, of Baltimore, beginning immediately. Living first class, traveling the world, Lara's quiet dedication and devotion created an invincible bond with her mistress for almost two decades. Yet twists of fate lay ahead for Lara, sharp turns in a road cloaked in fog. A seaside vacation for Miss Baillie's ailing heart, became the very place Lara lost hers, to a handsome chauffeur. Lara left with seven thousand in cash, jewelry and a tea set once used by a crown head of Europe to marry Paul Gillett during the chaos and devastation of the Great Depression. This mild-mannered, industrious and fun-loving girl from Sabillasville, Maryland is one you'll not soon forget.
