Rich and spoiled, Lottie can think of nothing worse than marrying an American socialite in order to improve her family’s fortune. She dreams of a life of romance and adventure. So, why not switch places with her maid Dora? She can search of the life she desires on the streets of New York while Dora charms and marries the great Conrad Tremaine. Of course, nothing ever goes as planned…

Nancy Moser devises a magnificent plot in her novel Masquerade, but the characters, their lives, and the friendship they are supposed to have fall flat. While Lottie makes many wonderful discoveries of life for immigrants in New York while Dora discovers the splendor of the New York’s great Four Hundred; neither girl ever truly seems concerned about what happens to the other. The changes in their own lives and thoughts just happen with a nod at the One who directs our paths. And, truly, what is our life is God is not the center of it?
