"Miss V. Conroy is good at keeping secrets. She likes to sit as quiet as a mouse, neat and discreet. But when her father sends her to Kensington Palace to become the companion to Princess Victoria, Miss V soon finds that she can no longer remain in the shadows.

Torn between loyalty to her father and her growing friendship with the willful and passionate Victoria, Miss V has a decision to make: to continue in silence, or to speak out"--OCLC.
