Though women of privilege disdain the Prince Charming/Cinderella story, the less privileged women dream of finding such a man, and many men seek such an unsoiled, unaffected woman. Will Carleton Rogers was born an aristocrat, the descendant of eminent men and women of over 300 years lineage. His father, a famous writer; his brothers, presidents of major corporations; one sister, a famous actress, Will lived the life of a landed gentleman, constantly bestowing his largesse upon those who were less fortunate. He was tall, handsome, brilliant and generous;yet, despite it all, he had not found his Cinderella. This is the story of Will and the other superior men in his family, many of whom failed to find that abiding love they sought in spite of their excellence and best efforts. The reader will find within this book stories he has heard from his friends, and possibly his own story, stories of men trying to fulfill their destinies in a modern world. It was the nature of Prince Charming though, even in a modern guise, never to give up, never to stop seeking that delicate foot which just fit the metaphorical slipper which he carried. This is a philosophical novel about love and its difficulties. |
