I loved this book. One of Anne Rivers Siddons most compelling! It is a wonderful story with many unexpected twists and turns. You hardly know which side you are on. It turns a young girl into a fine young woman, the hard way. This would make a great vacation read....you will be engrossed.

A dear, heartaching story of a young girl growing to womanhood virtually ignored in a house of father, brothers and spaniels. The love of her dog and the memory of her dead brother sustain her until puberty, when she falls under the spell of troubled Charleston beauty Lulu. Poignant, amazing, and worth every minute of the read.

When Siddons writes of the low country of South Carolina, she takes you along and makes you feel as if you live there. She develops characters like the master writer she is.

Siddons' books always deliver a heart wrenching story of the low country.

I have loved each one of Anne Rivers Siddons' books, each for different reasons because each is unique. This is one of my favorites. Your heart aches for the young girl, growing up almost ignored in a house of men, who bravely forges ahead to become a person you'd love to know.

I didn't think I'd stick with this book... a little slow in the beginning but if the reader sticks with it the story gets more interesting. In the end, I felt it was a good book.
