Summary: "A Manifest Destiny" by Julia Magruder is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Bettina Mowbray, a young woman who navigates her way through love, loss, and ambition as she seeks to cement her place in society after the death of her beloved mother. With her beauty as her primary asset, Bettina eyes a future with Horace Spotswood, the heir to a title in English aristocracy, but encounters obstacles in her pursuit of wealth and status. At the start of the novel, Bettina is aboard an ocean steamer bound for England, keenly aware of the admiration she garners from fellow passengers.

Upon arrival in London, Bettina meets Lord Hurdly, who challenges her plans and hints at a power dynamics that may alter her future. This revelation sets the stage for an exploration of her struggles between societal expectations, personal desires, and the concept of true love—ultimately leading her to ponder what sacrifices she's willing to make for the life she seeks.
