American Gilt
"American Gilt - Scandal" (Vol 3) Based on the True Story from America's Gilded Age
What really happened in 1883? Sifting through the rumors, gossip and propaganda perpetuated over the years, "American Gilt" reveals the life of Sara Swan Whiting while exploring the mystery, truth and hidden agenda of an American scandal.
New York, N.Y. 1884 - Book 3 of the American Gilt Trilogy continues as Sara Swan Whiting, once a popular Gilded Age débutante finds herself disgraced by divorce and left with a child to raise alone. Previously an admired member of Mrs. Astor's court, Sara is now shunned by society. Instead of celebrating her first wedding anniversary, she is the target of harsh judgment and criticism by her contemporaries. Sara's daughter, Natica, born of the ill-fated marriage, is denied paternity by her father, Oliver Belmont, and subsequently the lineage of the powerful Belmont family - in spite of an undeniable resemblance to her father. Years pass and Natica grows into a lovely young woman following in the débutante footsteps of her mother. Now a society favorite, Natica is spunky and beautiful, but will history repeat itself and deliver the young débutante to scandal?
In the exciting finale to the American Gilt Trilogy readers are transported through time to the wealth and confines of elite society during America's Gilded Age. Based on information gathered from personal letters, historical newspapers, archives, books and interviews, author JD Peterson skillfully weaves a compelling tale surrounding the real events of the Belmont-Whiting Scandal of 1883.
