At eighteen, all Tracy Sullivan had seen of life was the poverty and squalor of New York's Lower East Side. But the determined young woman knew she would somehow escape the wretchedness of her life and fulfill the promise of her future-- and if she couldn't do it alone, she'd marry a rich man who could afford her dreams. From the crowded tenements of the city slums to the grand mansions of Gramercy Park, from rags and to velvets and siklsk, from the excitement and joy of the trun-of-the-century to the tragedy and triumph of WWI, beautiful Tracy Sullivan created a mighty empire--and cherished a secret love!
