The journey from the rmote village of her birth to the height of European elegance is long, but her fortune proves to be true. By way of ficionalized diary entries, we traverse her early years as she marries her one true love, bears his children, and is left betrayed, widowed, and penniless. It is Josephines extraordinary charm and will to survive that catapults her to the heart society, where she meet napoleon, whose destiny will prove to be irrevocably intertwined with hers...
