Synopsis: An upper class woman out for a night of adventure in London, is kidnapped and taken by ship, along with a lot of other women, to become mail order brides to a group of men waiting for them in New Orleans. Both sides think that the contracts have been entered into willingly, and Eleanor plots what she can do, until she meets her intended, John Reno.
When it came to Eleanor’s life, one might say that she was a victim of predestination. This was no predestination set up by some unseen God or by the fates of Greek mythology. Rather, she was a victim of the predestination of her father and the lackey in his life that was given the title and occupation of being Eleanor’s mother.
She loved her parents with a fervor that all dutiful children are born with and expected to cultivate through their childhood, but around the age of nine, Eleanor began to feel the spark of rebellion in her soul.
Her father, the esteemed Charles Coolidge III, had always craved a son, but was cursed with what he saw as the unfortunate curse of having a daughter. But, not a stranger to adversity in his life, Charles saw this unexpected setback to be nothing more than a minor obstacle that he could overcome and subdue with vigorous diligence.
Rather than use his daughter as a puppet to acquire a powerful son, he vowed to raise a lethally educated daughter with a strong sense of purpose. Little did he know that Eleanor was born with both of those things innately and required no real encouragement in these matters. For Charles, his daughter would find him a son that could be worthy of inheriting the family business.
At the age of nine, Eleanor realized this when she met Percy Wallace IV, a pig faced boy who was being orchestrated to be her future husband. From there, the spark of rebellion was fanned into the wildfire of rebellion. Eleanor would learn everything that her father set before her and books became doorways to worlds beyond the miserable future she saw with squatty Percy.
Whether she was reading Aristotle or about the Prussian empire, Eleanor would devour anything set before her and would not be satisfied until she became an expert in whatever she was reading. From gardening to mathematics, Eleanor became the learned genius that her father dreamed of her to be.
However, it wasn’t to further her father’s empire so that she could be the puppet master behind Percy. No, for Eleanor, the world was a dull and boring place and books were her only escape from the cold realities that she was forced to face.
In the books, love was a sweeping, romantic adventure where fate was written in the heavens and where star-crossed lovers were doomed from the start. She would gladly have taken the inevitable doom of a star-crossed love than this miserable reality that she was faced with from the start. Every time she was forced to see Percy, she felt the smoldering, putrid taste of bile in the back of her throat. It wasn’t romantic, blissful doom that awaited her, but rather damnation to boredom, disgust, and sadness. Not that her father cared at all. That would be asking too much for her father to care at all.
As for her mother, she was a parrot to her husband and Eleanor found
