Lady Elene, sheltered and naive, follows her twin brother from England--and soon finds herself in a struggle to survive in the rough and fertile country of the American Colonies. Glen Rose, carrying the deep wounds of a broken childhood, leaves a tavern-keeper's bed, and finds her heart is a place rich with possibilities. Daughters of letter-writing cousins Catherine and Fraser of Letters From the Attic, Book One: Yours in Haste, Elene and Glen Rose correspond with each other as their paths carry them from their sheltered and shadowed pasts into a bolder and brighter future.
