This was a wonderful book...one that I didn't want to end! It delves into the past and present of the main character in a way that you really know her and want her to overcome the scars of her past. I plan to read other books by this author!

One of the best books I've read in a long time, and the first Anne Rivers Siddons books. I will be looking for other books by her.
