@Manners, Morals and Myths@ introduces us to the people in the ballrooms and clubs of early twentieth-century, mid-western America, but they are not always as they seem. Toni Brownell is groomed from an early age in the fine art of becoming a lady. We meet her parents and the women who shape Toni@s character including her mother@s strong-willed best friend, who will play the most important role in Toni@s life. @ @She is poised to take her place as queen of Cleveland society when Toni@s husband turns her well-structured life into a shambles of shame and ruin, causing her to take a long, hard look at her life in order to understand how and why she could be so deceived. @ @Set against the backdrop of one of America@s oldest and most beautiful suburbs, @Manners, Morals and Myths@ takes the reader into a gracious, white-gloved era of a time now gone. For many, it will revive old, romantic memories. For others it will provide a glimpse of a world they might never know.
