Her big break occurs after a train wreck and a series of coincidences finds Connie in the hospital -- and at the center of a case of mistaken identity. That's because the rich, snooty Winterbourne clan believes that Connie is the wife of young Hugh Winterbourne, who died in the crash. At first, Connie intends to straighten out the matter. However, she quickly realizes that continuing the charade will leave her and her infant son financially secure for the rest of their lives. Can the down-to-earth Connie successfully play the role of being a snobby Winterbourne? To do so, she'll have to win over Hugh's brother Bill, who is highly suspicious of her true identity. And in the process, maybe they'll fall in love... [More]
