With two very different horizons stretched out before
her, one young woman stands on the cusp of an unknown
future.
Sheltered since birth at her Kentucky home, Rowena "Wren"
Ballantyne has heard only whispered rumors of her
grandfather Silas's vast fortune and grand manor in
Pennsylvania. When her father receives a rare letter
summoning him to New Hope, Wren makes the journey with him
and quickly finds herself in a whole new world--family
members she's never met, dances she's never learned, and a
new side to the father she thought she knew.
As she struggles to fit in during their extended stay, she
finds a friend in James Sackett, the most valued steamship
pilot of the Ballantynes' shipping line. Even with his help,
Wren feels she may never be comfortable in high society.
Will she go her own way . . . to her peril?
With her
signature attention to historical detail and emotional
depth, Laura Frantz brings 1850s Pennsylvania alive with a
tender story of loss, love, and loyalty.
