In 1872, gutsy, brilliant and beautiful Victoria Woodhall runs for President of the United States. Hampered by her past as a sexually abused teen and by opposition from even the women's movement with which she is not only in agreement but way ahead of the rest, she is supported by Cornelius Vanderbilt, a "robber baron," railroad magnate, and first of the outrageously influential Vanderbilt dynasty; and by Henry Ward Beecher, preacher and the most famous man in America. The unsinkable Victoria loses a lover and the election--but finds herself.
