Set against the backdrop of turn-of-the-century New York, "Broken Barriers" is a tale of ambition, love, and betrayal. As Darcy navigates the complex world of New York politics, he must also confront his own demons and face the challenges that come with being a young man in a world where power and influence are everything. At its core, "Broken Barriers" is a story about the struggle for success and the sacrifices that must be made along the way. It is a book that explores the dark underbelly of American politics and the toll that it can take on those who seek to make a difference. As one of Meredith Nicholson's most famous works, "Broken Barriers" is a testament to the author's skill at capturing the spirit of the early 20th century.
