Vicky Herrendeen grew up with a thorough distrust of emotional love. Her own beautiful mother's affairs had disgusted her. She determined never to allow herself to be caught in such a trap.

So when Vicky consented to marry Dr. Quentin Hardisty, it was on a matter-of-fact basis. She would be his housekeeper, an excellent one. She would be the mother of his children. She would be a constant and pleasant companion. But she would have none of love's more passionate side.

For seven years Vicky believed that her way of marriage was the only safe and civilized way. Then, one day, exquisite Serena Morrison set out to win Quentin for herself. And Serena was all too interested in love's most passionate side.

In Beauty's Daughter, Mrs. Norris treats a universal problem with all the rare wisdom and understanding that are hers. The story will delight you. The answer to the problem may surprise you.
