Welcome to Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality. While lessons are taught on genteel manners and dress, there are also... other lessons... of importance. Though fourteen-year-old Sophronia Temminnick is initially disappointed with the idea of attending a finishing s...
