The Propriety of Affection follows the love life of Marian Amberly, a young lady in Georgian England, where society dictates a lady's first ambition ought to be matrimony, and love should be but a secondary consideration. The idealistic Marian hopes for more than rank and fortune--she desires a companion she can love and respect. Should she marry the dashing and rakish Lord Richard Beauregard, one of London's most eligible bachelors? Or should she listen to the small voice in her heart that says the polite but reserved Edward Sheffield is the one she belongs with? True love is in her grasp, but its path is strewn with calculating rivals, unwanted suitors and misunderstandings.

The compelling photographic images presented in Windham capture the unique character of this southern New Hampshire town. In 1719, Scotch-Irish settlers founded a thriving community known for fine linens, Presbyterian orthodoxy, country fairs, and the rollicking customs that made it a merry island amid a sea of dour Puritanism. Windham became a separate town in 1742 and prospered until the 1820s, when an exodus to the vast lands of the West and nearby industrial cities began. Life then became ordered by the quiet rhythms of country life. Villages later sprang up around Windham's three railroad stations, and city folks came to summer at boardinghouses and farms. Cottages were built along the shores of Cobbett's Pond and Canobie Lake, while multimillionaire Edward Searles indulged his flights of fancy by building a medieval castle here.
