During the Gilded Age, social standing was paramount, but many times, it came with a heavy price.

One was often defined by public opinion. Any negative opinions, especially from those who were wealthy and powerful, had the potential to ruin a person completely.

Rose came to Richland Center to leave her life of poverty and tragedy behind her.

She would do anything to achieve the social position of her friend, the wife of the small town's most prestigious doctor.

Would that price include poisoning those who stood in her way?

Inspired by true events, this fictional account of mystery, betrayal, and murder is woven by the author of the acclaimed novel, Face Down in Rising Sun, K.D. Allbaugh.
