India Ledbetter is a young woman living in the early 1900s with a desire to experience her own life, away from the demands of her family and the constraints of society. Unfortunately, a lifetime of living under the thumb of her mother leaves India unprepared for what is in store for her. Traveling from North Carolina to New York to England, India is more determined than ever to make her own decisions but is confused by the emotions she encounters along the way.
The Last Dollar Princess is a wonderful novel that was very difficult to put down. I was immersed in the time period and the colorful settings, and I was completely invested in the characters, particularly India. The author writes with skill and an innate sense of pacing, capturing the essence of a young woman facing experiences that pit her head and her heart against each other. This is a well-researched novel that carries the reader between two continents during a fascinating era of history, and is a must-read for both history buffs, romance readers, and those who love an excellent story of determination in the face of opposition.
Sublime Line: “The Last Dollar Princess is a skillfully-written and engaging historical novel about a unique young woman struggling against the constraints of society."
