Synopsis

Available for the first time in 125 years, the Lost Novels Of Nellie Bly!Despite being twins, Dimple and Della have differing views of love. Dimple plans to wed for wealth, freeing her family from the weight of poverty. Della, however, plans to only marry for love. Despite their love for each other, each twin finds the other foolish in regards to the purpose of matrimony. When Dimple marries the old millionaire Mr. Darlington, she thinks she has won the prize. But soon she finds life in a mansion is filled with crippling loneliness. On a visit to her sister, she finds herself rescued from certain death by a handsome stranger, and realizes at once that Della has been right all along. Love is all that matters in the world. But even if she were not already tied to the grumbling and jealous Darlington, there is another obstacle to Dimple’s happiness. The man she loves is already betrothed—to Dimple’s sister Della!A passionate story of desire and denial, this final novel of Nellie Bly’s pen is perhaps her most prescient, mirroring events of her life to come. Not based on her reporting but on her own questions of love and the duality of her own nature, Bly plays out the questions that vex her in . . .Twins & Rivals!

Author Bio

Nellie Bly (1864-1922) was the pen name of American journalist Elizabeth Jane Cochran, whose best-known works are Ten Days in a Mad-House and Around the World in Seventy-Two Days. A pioneer of investigative journalism, her work often focused on issues of corruption and poverty and gave voice to disenfranchised groups. She first wrote for the Pittsburgh Dispatch, where she became a foreign correspondent in Mexico, and later for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and the New York Evening Journal, covering stories including the Pullman Railroad strike and the 1913 women's suffrage convention and profiling figures including Susan B. Anthony and anarchist Emma Goldman. Bly died of pneumonia in 1922.
