Caps and Capers: A Story of Boarding-School Life

A grieving widower faces a heart‑wrenching dilemma: how to give his young daughter the stability and education she needs while he wrestles with his own loss. Clayton Reeve, a successful lawyer, has spent months sorting through endless school brochures, each promising the perfect blend of discipline and nurturing. The story opens with his solitary moments in a grand library, surrounded by catalogues that mirror his inner turmoil, as he tries to choose the right boarding‑school for his little Toinette.

The narrative captures the tender moments between father and daughter, from playful calls of “Papa” to the quiet ache of a home suddenly too large. As Clayton prepares to send Toinette away, the novel gently explores themes of parental love, the search for security, and the bittersweet hope that a new environment might bring both comfort and growth. Listeners will be drawn into the intimate portrait of a family reshaping itself after tragedy, set against the backdrop of late‑Victorian society and its exacting expectations.
