Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yesterday, July 16, 1898, Louise Lambert's mother was beaten to death by her boss in a shirt factory in Lower Manhattan. Today, her immigrant mother was laid to rest in a charity grave, leaving Louise, 14, orphaned, penniless, desperate. Louise is pulled from the brutality of the seething ghetto streets and swept into the magic of great wealth by her mother's only friend, Cecilia, who arranges a maid's job for Louise in the home of Henry Flagler, a major partner of John. D. Rockefeller in the Standard Oil Company. The remarkable journey of this naive girl delights, startles, shocks, saddens, and intrigues as she unveils the minds and mansions of the super rich and ultra powerful-from oil tycoons and media muckrakers to Teddy Roosevelt, then governor of New York. Louise's journey takes her to Palm Beach, where she discovers the richest people in the world at Flagler's major hotel, the Royal Poinciana-the epitome of the Gilded Age. As a member of the kitchen staff, Louise is captivated by a handsome fisherman who introduces her to the sea and the glories of Florida. Also pursued by the privileged son of a real estate scion, Louise is forced to make a choice between these two ardent suitors. That choice leads Louise to a life no one could have ever predicted or designed. Book One of this trilogy is the threshold to a life that defies grim reality and wild imagination. After conquering her baptism of fire, the once impoverished girl develops into a tenacious young woman, then into a character bigger than life. She is ready for the dream world she never imagined. Or is she? Bonus Chapter for Book Two As a special "thank you" gift with your purchase of this first book introducing you to Louise Lambert, we have included the first chapter of The Richest Woman in the World - Book Two.
