(http://digital.library.villanova.edu/))  a"My Pretty Maid; or, Liane Lester" by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller is a romantic novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Liane Lester, a poor young girl living with her cruel grandmother, and her encounters with the affluent characters around her, particularly the heiress Roma Clarke and the handsome Jesse Devereaux. This book explores themes of love, social class differences, and the struggles faced by women of the era.  At the start of the story, Liane is introduced as a beautiful and impoverished seamstress who endures abuse from her grandmother while working long hours at a local dressmaker's shop. During her work, Liane crosses paths with Jesse Devereaux, a wealthy man who mistakes her for someone else and rescues her from an inappropriate encounter with a drunken man. As the narrative unfolds, we learn about Liane's unspoken love for Jesse, the complexities of her life with her grandmother, and the contrast between her humble existence and the luxurious world of Roma Clarke, who is determined to maintain her status. The opening sets the stage for an emotional journey filled with longing, courage, and the harsh realities of class struggles.
