A Righted Wrong: A Novel. Volume 1 (of 3)

The narrative follows Margaret Hungerford's descent from romantic idealism into harsh reality after marrying Godfrey Hungerford, whose charm conceals gambling, deceit, and selfishness. Confronted with poverty, emotional betrayal, and enforced association with ignoble companions, she endures material privation while undergoing a painful moral awakening. The discovery that her husband is fundamentally unworthy shatters her faith in her own judgment and in conventional notions of heroism, prompting introspection and stoic fortitude. Episodes of departure and reunion frame personal trials, and the story traces how honesty, resilience, and altered expectations shape her response to humiliation and hardship.
