Synopsis "The Secrets of Lovelace Academy"

From New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict and Courtney Sheinmel comes a historical adventure about a young girl plucked from a London orphanage to begin attending a boarding school with more secrets than she could imagine--perfect for fans of Enola Holmes. Lainey Philipps has lived at the Sycamore Home for Orphaned Children since she was three years old. Now nearly a teenager, her life is hard, and she doesn't expect it to get better--until a chance encounter during an open house changes everything when Lainey meets a woman who invites her to attend the prestigious Lovelace Academy. Fitting in amongst the many privileged students within the ivy-covered walls of Lovelace Academy presents challenges unlike the ones Lainey has faced in the past. Her life of drudgery has hardly prepared her for the aristocratic airs and cutthroat academic ambition of the other girls. Terrified she'll be cast out of the academy, Lainey grabs at her chance to prove herself by traveling to Switzerland to meet a female scientist crafting a groundbreaking theory. Determined to prove her capability and reach her destination, Lainey must rely on her own wit--as well as a mysterious boy who has yet to prove himself as friend or foe. But the real test is what awaits her in Switzerland, at the home of Mileva Maric, wife of Albert Einstein.

Marie Benedict, pseudonym of Heather Terrell, is an American writer and lawyer born in Pittsburgh in 1973. After more than a decade as a litigator in New York, she turned to historical fiction with the purpose of rescuing the stories of notable women who have been forgotten by official history. Graduated in History and Art from Boston College and in Law from Boston University, Benedict has focused her work on influential but little-recognized female figures.

Among her most notable novels are In the Shadow of Einstein (2016), about Mileva Marić; The Only Woman (2019), centered on Hedy Lamarr; The Mystery of Mrs. Christie (2021), which addresses the mysterious disappearance of Agatha Christie; and The Personal Librarian (2023), co-written with Victoria Christopher Murray, about Belle da Costa Greene. Her work falls within the genre of historical novel, focusing on fictionalized biographies of influential women. Her books have been translated into more than thirty languages and selected by book clubs such as those of Barnes & Noble and Target.
