Eve to the Rescue

Eveley Ainsworth is done being dutiful. When her aunt dies and leaves her some independence, she takes it. Her sister and brother-in-law expect her to stay, to help, to serve the family as any unmarried woman should. But Eveley has other plans: a house of her own, a life of her own choosing, and perhaps most dangerously, the freedom to fall in love on her own terms. Ethel Hueston's 1917 novel crackles with sharp dialogue and irreverent humor as its heroine navigates the battle between what society demands and what her heart wants. This is early twentieth-century women's fiction at its most spirited: a story about the radical act of choosing yourself, even when everyone around you insists you're being selfish. For readers who love vintage romances with backbone and heroines who refuse to apologize for wanting more.
