Publisher's Synopsis
1876, San Francisco
Sylvia Bishop, proper young, well not so young, socialite needs a husband. Her father's selection is handsome and rich but also too old, too dull and worst all too managing.
Her German and writing professor George Friedman, impresses her with his physique, even shrouded in an old tweed suit, his concern for his students and most of all his encouragement to write what's in her heart. When her father sees George in red tights putting on his acrobatic performance, Mr. Bishop tightens the reins on Sylvia and pushes for an early marriage to the man of his choice.
Can Sylvia take a big step away from the life she's known to spend her life with the man she has come to love? Can she convince her father that George is not An Unsuitable Husband?
