520    Born to a pioneering family in Upstate New York in the 
       late 1800s, Allene Tew was beautiful, impetuous, and 
       frustrated by the confines of her small hometown. At 
       eighteen, she met Tod Hostetter at a local dance, having 
       no idea that the mercurial charmer she would impulsively 
       wed was heir to one of the wealthiest families in America.
       But when he died twelve years later, Allene packed her 
       bags for New York City. From the vantage point of the 
       American upper class, Allene embodied the tumultuous 
       Gilded Age. Over the course of four more marriages, she 
       weathered personal tragedies during World War I and the 
       catastrophic financial reversals of the crash of 1929. 
       From the castles and châteaus of Europe, she witnessed the
       Russian Revolution and became a princess. And from the 
       hopes of a young girl from Jamestown, New York, Allene Tew
       would become the epitome of both a pursuer and survivor of
       the American Dream.
