About the author
I'm Emery Grange, Frances's great-granddaughter. I spent years piecing together more than two hundred family letters, diaries, and documents to bring my great-grandmother's story back to life, and to give Frances the ending history denied her.
Hi there,
A few questions I hear often, answered with love.
What makes the Founders Edition different?+
It's the only edition with the hidden fore-edge portrait: close the book and Frances disappears; fan the gilded pages and she appears. Each copy is signed, hand-numbered, and bound in green leather with gold embossing.
How many copies exist?+
One hundred. Each is numbered by hand, and your name is recorded in the Legends of the Leap Ledger. When they're claimed, there won't be a second printing.
When will my copy arrive?+
Copies ship in the order reservations were made. You'll get an email the moment yours is on its way.
How does checkout work?+
You pay $149 now to reserve your numbered copy, then add your shipping address right after payment. Ships anywhere in the US.
Gift for the Gilded Age lover in your life?+
It's made for it. Every copy arrives in a botanical presentation box. Just enter the recipient's address after checkout.
Your prettiest book on the outside.
Most powerful on the inside.
Be warned: this book is from the Gilded Age. It will not magically transform your home into a palace (that's the next edition 😉)
