Tripping Arcadia

In stores now

Tasked to assist the Verdeau family doctor and their ill but poetic adult heir, Jonathan, Lena chronicles her nights spent working overtime to hide the Verdeaus' self-destructive tendencies both at home in Boston, and at their Gilded Age mansion, Arrow's Edge — That is until she discovers the Verdeau are the one's responsible for her family's financial struggles, and the firing of her father six months prior.
