Avery Amelia Fox, a twenty-something, independent woman, is the only child of Avery and Amelia Fox, prominent citizens of the exclusive village of Hidden Oaks. Her name is both a blessing and a curse. A curse because her parents are well known in a world of insufferable snobs. A blessing because Avery, despite her abhorrence to her parents' world, loves them and is grateful for the advantages being a Fox offspring has allowed her.
