Mistress of my fate
by Hallie Rubenhold
- 4 Want to read
- I shall never forget that day in October - nor the decision I made. At seventeen, I was so ill-prepared for life, scarcely knowing how to dress myself, let alone how to board a mail coach at dead of night. I fled my home at Melmouth House, leaving those who both loved and hated me. Do read my tale closely, for there is much to be learned from a woman of my sort. I fell for every snare and trick of fate, so that you might not. My tale is not for the faint of heart - the prude, the high-minded and moral are likely to take offence. You have heard the lies and slander from others. Prepare now to hear the truth.

Work Description
England, 1789. Under a cloud of scandal, Henrietta Lightfoot flees her home at Melmouth Park. She has little money and no worthwhile talents, for what use is a neat stitch and a pretty voice outside the drawing room? Without fanily support, her only hope of survival lies with the dashing but elusive Lord Allenham...
In a desperate quest to find him, Henrietta embarks on a journey through London's debauched and glittering underworld. With the aid of new found skills at the card table and on the stage, will Henrietta be able to turn her life around to become mistress of her fate?
