Welcome author Cordelia Frances Biddle to Woodmere Art Museum as she reads from Deception's Daughter, the second in her Martha Beale series.
Biddle brings 19th century Philadelphia to life with vibrant detail. Her characters are a cross-section of a hierarchical society. It is into this multi-layered world that her players are thrust, where the economic crisis plaguing the nation forms the backdrop to personal dramas caused by a missing daughter, mismatched marriages and desires that transcend class. Cordelia is a member of Philadelphia's Biddle and Drexel families.
About Deception's Daughter
When the daughter of one of Philadelphia's finest families disappears, Martha Beale—the fiercely independent society lady first introduced in The Conjurer—once more joins forces with her secret beau, Thomas Kelman, to track the heiress. But what appears to be a kidnapping takes a darker turn and complex clues implicate rich and poor alike.
