A glamorous tale of love, secrets, and social lure set in a brisk, turn‑of‑the‑century world. A young actress’s life unfolds amid ballrooms, theatre stages, and the uneasy pull of a past that won’t stay hidden.
In this installment, the heroine navigates marriage proposals, intertwined loyalties, and the delicate balance between public performance and private truth. Rich social circles, vivid settings, and a steadily tightening drama keep the pace brisk as the story explores resilience, identity, and the costs of living up to expectations.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction with a strong, inner‑life focus, social intrigue, and period detail.

Excerpt from Periwinkle an Autobiography, Vol. 2 of 3
Lights far out - green, yellow, and glowing red - twinkled mysteriously upon invisible masts and were reflected in dim and tremulous hues within the quiet dark mirror which lay beneath them.
