Beauty and talent - isn't that enough to be happy? But what happiness is there when your own mother is jealous of you, and your lover steals your project, and even spreads dirty rumors. To top it all off, Iris Crane learns that the only person who was kind to her is also about to become a victim of slander, and even posthumously. And Iris rushes into an unequal battle to protect the memory of her late stepfather. If only she knew how this “battle” would end!
