She has one last chance to prove she chose the right course for her life.

In
1908, young Dorothy Tuckerman chafes under the bland, beige traditions
of her socialite circles. Only the aristocracy’s annual summer trips to
The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia spark her imagination. In this
naturally beautiful place, an unexpected romance with an Italian racecar
driver gives Dorothy a taste of the passion and adventure she wants.
But her family intervenes, sentencing Dorothy to the life she hopes to
escape.

Thirty-eight years later, as World War II
draws to a close, Dorothy has done everything a woman in the early
twentieth century should not: she has divorced her
husband—scandalous—and established America’s first interior design
firm—shocking. Now, Dorothy returns to The Greenbrier with the
assignment to restore it to something even greater than its original
glory. With her beloved company’s future hanging in the balance and
brimming with daring, unconventional ideas, Dorothy has one more chance
to give her dreams wings or succumb to her what society tells her is her
inescapable fate.

Based on the true story of famed designer Dorothy Draper, The Grand Design is a moving tale of one woman’s quest to transform the walls that hold her captive.
