A marvelous job with such insight into my mothers thoughts. I surely enjoyed the research on the events of each year in her life that stood out. I am sure my mother is very happy with the outcome. Florence Montfort Prender CORINNE TAYLOR tells the compelling story of Florence Schneider, a young debutante in the late-Victorian, high society of Washington D.C., who sidesteps a local array of handsome, eligible men and falls in love with Tom, a stranger to the city. Despite her other unrelenting suitors, Tom proves himself to be her truelove and an ambitious young man of great promise. With his impressive academic credentials and glowing references, he attains the blessing of her father, and their future appears golden. Vulnerabilities, romantic idealism, and unscrupulous behavior converge within the young couples seemingly idyllic relationship and, ultimately, lead to a perplexing tragedy. What occurred in 1915 plagued Florences family with fear and suspicion, and left a wake of unanswered questions. Meticulous research into archived information has put these questions to rest, and a mystery is revealed that has lain dormant for four generations.
