I don't usually do this, but the back cover of this book describes it so well I will just quote it here: "Young, beautiful Rose is desperate! She and her beloved mother had planned to travel to Scotland so that Rose could discover her heritage. Then suddenly , Rose's mother had died. To honor her memory, Rose went through with the trip, though doing so meant going to live with the wealthy relatives who had shunned her mother for marrying outside of Scotland's elite." Rose will feel out of place in the castle and overhear a conversation about a scheme to marry her off to someone and she will flee to her father's relatives, where she will be warmly welcomed. There she will find a family who will love her.

I like the way this author always shares the message of God's salvation through Jesus Christ in each of her stories and she does it very well in this story. I also liked the surprise visit near the end of someone who had become very dear to Rose throughout this story. Well done and very much appreciated. But then I have always been a big fan of this author. ( )
