What is it about?
In 19th-century Brighton, Marie lives an isolated existence, secretly sewing designs that no one else sees. Her father, an authoritarian man, keeps the family away from the world and has forbidden her from visiting the coastal city. However, after a chance encounter with a mysterious man, Marie follows a group of dressmakers and arrives in Brighton, where she discovers that the Loyal Theatre, owned by her father, will be hosting a major fashion event. This discovery leads her to wonder why her father has hidden the event from her and what dark reasons he has for keeping his family isolated. Determined to uncover the truth and pursue her dream of becoming a designer, Marie will meet other women who, like her, have been silenced and forced to accept an imposed destiny. Together, they will learn the true meaning of fighting for what the heart desires in a story that fuses personal growth, romance, mystery, and the quest for freedom.
