Although this version of DIGNITY is censored, the story still contains DISTURBING THEMES and ADULT CONTENT. View the author's artwork and an outline of Dignity in this video http: //youtu.be/e0v0MINmuU0 Dignity is the unrecorded story of a young, unknown girl who eventually became the Queen of England. Katheryn Howard's story takes place in Tudor England, begins at age five, and moves forward through her historically unknown life. This is Katheryn's story presented in a romantic fashion and intertwined with historic events of the time. Katheryn Howard's first mention in Tudor history was when she created the Gentlewomen's Chamber at Lambeth about two years prior to her marriage to Henry VIII. Therefore, Katheryn's history begins at the end of Dignity whereas the beginning, which explains her torrid lifestyle, is not historical. Dark secrets of Katheryn's childhood are exposed explaining the commonplace result of over-sexualization and promiscuity. Her lascivious lifestyle was to become her eventual demise as her pre-marital history was uncovered during her short reign as Queen of England. The story explores the viewpoints of many of the characters involved with Katheryn both historically and romantically as she searched for love through the only thing that she felt she had some control over, her sensuality. In the time of Katheryn's short life, women were considered little more than property in a male dominated world. Dignity does nothing to sugar coat this fact and because it is written in a romantic fashion, it can draw the reader in and be quite stimulating yet in some instances, it can be quite disturbing.
