Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. "Ab is an exquisite storyteller." -Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Magnolia PalaceThe New York Times bestselling author of The Second Mrs. Astor returns with a spellbinding new book perfect for fans of HBOs The Gilded Age and readers of Marie Benedict, Karen Harper, and Allison Pataki. This sweeping novel of historical fiction is inspired by the true rags-to-riches story of Arabella Huntington-a woman whose great beauty was surpassed only by her exceptional business acumen, grit, and artistic eye, and who defied the constraints of her era to become the wealthiest self-made woman in America.1867, Richmond, Virginia: Though she wears the same low-cut purple gown that is the uniform of all the girls who work at Worshams gambling parlor, Arabella stands apart. Its not merely her statuesque beauty and practiced charm. Even at seventeen, Arabella possesses an unyielding grit, and a resolve to escape her background of struggle and poverty.Collis Huntington, railroad baron and self-made multimillionaire, is drawn to Arabella from their first meeting. Collis is married and thirty years her senior, yet they are well-matched in temperament, and flirtation rapidly escalates into an affair. With Colliss help, Arabella eventually moves to New York, posing as a genteel, well-to-do Southern widow. Using Colliss seed money and her own shrewd investing instincts, she begins to amass a fortune.Their relationship is an open secret, and no one is surprised when Collis marries Arabella after his wifes death. But The Four Hundred-the elite circle that includes the Astors and Vanderbilts-have their rules. Arabella must earn her place in Society-not just through her vast wealth, but with taste, style, and impeccable behavior. There are some who suspect the scandalous truth, and will blackmail her for it. And then there is another threat-an unexpected, impossible romance that will test her ambition, her loyalties, and her heart . . .An American Beauty brings to vivid life the glitter and drama of a captivating chapter in history-and a remarkable woman who lived by her own rules.This story of one womans ascent offers a fascinating look at the choices she made to become a Gilded Age titan.- Kirkus Reviews.
