Fiercely independent,she is engaged to a man she doesn't care for,a landlord's son and heir to an exploitative business empire.A Search for FreedomLizzie finds herself helping Mack after he becomes a fugitive. Separated by class but bound by their yearning for freedom,they escape to London. True freedom,though,lies further afield,in a new life that awaits across the Atlantic Ocean . . .
