007 - At Last

Join the adventure of an American heiress, affectionately known as the Manitou Princess—named after her father’s lucrative silver mine—who is heartbroken to discover that her fiancé is only after her fortune. In a bold move, she escapes to Europe, disguises herself in male attire, and embarks on an exhilarating walking tour of the Alps. Despite her declared disdain for men, she unexpectedly crosses paths with the charmingly jilted English lord, Monty Lane, who is nursing his own heartbreak. The Princess Passes unfolds the comedic and romantic twists of their alpine journey through the eyes of Lord Lane. Co-authored by Alice Livingston from Poughkeepsie, New York, who fled to Europe after a dramatic breakup, the narrative is infused with her experiences in the literary world, where she penned multiple serials and found love through her writing. The story intertwines elements of Shakespearean cross-dressing humor with thrilling automobile escapades as the characters navigate the breathtaking mountain passes of pre-World War I Europe.
