Uses of the Past

The Uses of The Past is a gothic tale of love, hatred, and contempt that involves a wealthy family, the Thompsons, who extend their kindness to a young girl named Elizabeth Everest, daughter of their maid at Leconfield set in England in the 1800s. After the death of her first husband Jonathan Thompson, she is set out to prove that with her inheritance, she is able to face life alone with the passionate memories of her deceased husband. Yet all of that is about to change when she meets for the first time Jonathans older brother Richard, who is a composer and a lover of many women. Richard sets out on a mission to win her stubborn heart and even goes through great lengths in changing his character. Because like his brother, Richard saves Elizabeths life, he softens her heart to the point of submission.Tapia, Veronica is the author of 'Uses of the Past', published 0010 under ISBN 9781592867615 and ISBN 1592867618.
