Reluctantly, Eleanor allows her daughter Emma to go to the Stamford Fair with Agnes, Eleanor’s estranged sister. Eleanor is married to a much older man, and does not understand love. She soon will. Emma falls in love with a magician from the fair, and afraid to tell her judgemental mother of her love, she runs away with him. Eleanor reunites with her sister in order to find Emma. Eleanor is certain that her daughter’s prospects in life are ruined, that she can never marry a Duke or Lord now. She does not stop to consider if this is what her daughter wants. Her renewed relationship with her sister, along with what she discovers about Emma when they find her, lead Eleanor to question everything she knows about love. Emma finds love, and just might change her mother’s life in the process.

EXCERPT FROM BOOK
“Some rules befitting a young girl spending time away from home. The first thing is that I wish you to take our carriage there. Your aunt wrote in her letter that she would like to come pick you up in her...wagon, but I don’t think that proper. The second thing I want to lay down, and I must insist that this one is stringently applied, is this: any acquaintance you meet at this fair, excepting your own family, will remain a one-time acquaintance. By that I mean you will not see or speak to them again. You may enjoy yourself, but know that these...country people will not become a part of your social set. Is that understood?”
Once upon a time, Emma had loved her mother, thought her to be thoughtlessly elegant and wonderful. She had rocked her on her knee and taught her how to plait her hair. But in the time since Emma had come of age, there were no pleasant memories. Her mother had transformed in those years, and not into a person that Emma recognized or liked. She glared at her mother, but nodded that she understood.
