The Girl Who Had Nothing
A fantastic novel written by A.M. Williamson is a tale about a woman named Sylvia Bailey. She grows up in a condition of poverty and is raised by her aunt in a very small village. Even after the humble beginning of her life, she continues to remain determined to improve her situation.

As she grew older, she started working as a maid in a wealthy household and during this period, she fell in love and unexpected challenges. During her journey of ups and downs, she remains buoyant, denying her past to define her future. The novel is quite fascinating and evokes a generous interest due to the presence of several themes like social class, ambition, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adverse situations. The book portrays the beautiful and challenging journey of Sylvia, a girl who defines her voyages where she discovers her potential and worth. With the loss of experiences, she learns valuable insights into her life, love, and pursuit of happiness.
Lady Betty Across the Water
I don't know yet whether I'm pleased or not, but I do know that I'm excited-more excited than I've ever been in my life, except perhaps when Miss Mackinstry, my last governess, had hysterics in the schoolroom and fainted among the tea things. I suppose I shan't be able to decide about the state of my feelings until I've had more of them on the same subject, or until I've written down in this book of mine everything exactly as it's happened. I like doing that; it makes things seem so clear when you try to review them afterwards. The excitement began at breakfast by Mother having a letter that she liked. I knew she liked it by the way her eyes lighted up, as if they had been lamps and the letter a match. All the other letters, mostly with horrid, tradesmanny-looking envelopes, which had been making her quite glowery, she pushed aside.

ALICE MURIEL WILLIAMSON
Despite the fact that C. N. never wrote any fiction bearing his name, acknowledged by his wife many years later, the view erroneously persists that the two were joint authors. Much is known about Charles, the highly respected editor of Black and White and several other journals of the 1890s, but virtually nothing about his wife, the true author, except that she was American, had formerly been an actress, and went to England intending to pursue journalism. Her autobiography, The Inky Way, published two years before her death in 1933, begins curiously in media res with her journey to England in 1892, and remains conspicuously silent about all that preceded that voyage. It is the purpose of this biography to supply the missing chapters of her previous life in America, providing hitherto unknown details about her several earlier careers as actress, journalist, and author of fiction.
