There she meets her great-aunt, Rose Wickham, who is to prepare her for the concert stage, as she had done years earlier for Nellie’s famous mother, Charlotte Pendleton. Despite Nellie’s burning desire to follow in her mother’s footsteps, she fears Rose’s true intent is to derail her dreams at any cost.
