By: Marlene Cheng

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Failed by tradition. Awake to new possibilities. When they lose their innocence, will these young women become fierce warriors for future generations?

The Netherlands, 17th Century. The Maid knows fortune is a harsh mistress. When her father’s sudden death reveals the family’s supposed wealth is a lie, she puts on a brave face when her impoverished status turns her suitor’s eyes elsewhere. And despite her yearning to study herbalism, she volunteers to go into service as a maid to make ends meet.

The Inspector’s Daughter feels safe in her insulated world. But after she meets her new handmaiden, her soul remembers the lessons to dream big she learned at her mama’s knee. And as they form a bond of sisterhood over the unfairness of their subservient position in society, her belief in justice becomes a flaming torch.

Hurt when a noble writes to request her lady’s hand, The Maid is certain their friendship is about to shatter. But while The Inspector’s Daughter is prepared to take on a wife’s role, she refuses to allow her bosom companion to be torn from her life.

Can two untried juffrouwen spread their wings together?
