Joan Mellows: A Family Affair

A Family Affair was published in 1976 by Fawcett and is the story of Helene who was being pressed into a marriage with the Duke of Coniston while her heart called out for James Fraser, penniless but handsome.

Allan Kass shows our couple about to enter a carriage for a ride around town. Our heroine wears a plain pink gown under an ornate purple fur trimmed coat. The hero looks eager to accompany her and we imagine a delightful outing.
