Introduction
How would she describe herself with one word?
She didn't know.
For some reason, she could always describe her friends and family with the perfectly most accurate words, but when it came to herself she was left at a standstill. Sure, she would always come up with a few distinct words that described herself well; confident, ambitious, determined, calm, courageous, observant, independent, and witty. But they never captured Josephine Selwyn to a tee. There was just something missing.
Her father, Malcolm Selwyn, was the perfect example of a charismatic man.
Her mother, Naomi Selwyn, was the definition of a clever woman.
Her oldest brother, Laurence Selwyn, took the trophy when tested in resourcefulness.
Her second older brother, Benedict Selwyn, had never found someone that matched his popularity.
And her best friend, Daphne Greengrass, was the fairest of them all.
But who was Josephine? What made her special? What made her indifferent?
She might not know the answer now, but she was determined to find out.
