A torn sleeve, a bruised arm, and a lie.

A friend seeks Cora Countryman's help with her work dress's torn sleeve, ripped on a bush. As the town's seamstress, Cora has mended many a dress. But when she sees a ragged tear on her friend's forearm and a bruise left by a thumb, Cora questions her friend, who is evasive. Worried by her answers, Cora begins her own investigation.

When murder is done, Cora won't give in, back down, or submit to the behavior expected of a young lady in 1876 in a burgeoning Illinois prairie town. Why should she? She never expected to stay. That is, until her mother abandoned her, leaving her heavily in debt, her reputation on the line, and a boarding house with one boarder. Her intended life of mystery and adventure never seemed so far away.

Will Cora find the killer before he stops her - dreams included? Buy Unbecoming a Lady and find out how far a friend will go in this cozy historical mystery that blends social pressures, romance, and suspense.
