The Gilded Forgery

About this book

In the opulent yet divided world of Gilded Age New York, two parallel timelines unfold the life of an impoverished Irish immigrant. In the harsh winter of 1888, young Bridget watches her sister fall victim to the ruthless machinations of the city's wealthiest elites. Five years later, in 1893, Bridget returns to Fifth Avenue not as a servant, but as an aristocrat—an identity she masterfully forged herself. As she orchestrates a complex scheme to bankrupt the powerful Van Der Weyden family, she must navigate a treacherous high-society maze where one misstep means ruin. Alternating between the gritty survival of her past and the dazzling deception of her present, Bridget learns that changing her class comes at a perilous cost to her true identity.
