It’s 1916. Melanie Daniels, the prettiest girl in Mullers Corners, daughter of the town doctor, dreams of making a good marriage, but a woman dies while getting an abortion from Melanie’s father. Now, “the killer doc” is back from prison, the family disgraced. Twists of fate lead Melanie into a new life in the world of Broadway; and a new understanding of her own womanhood and her father’s crime.
