         Mini-Review
I have a confession to make. I'm still reading this book. But it's really great! I'm glad I was able to get a copy for review on tour. This is a really sweet story. Rosalind comes to live with a new family after a hard past and being jostled around. She doesn't know who she is. She's trying to figure out who she is.

It's a sweet contemporary set in a historical setting. I love it so far! The writing is sweet and pretty easy to follow. It can be a bit descriptive, but I haven't found it overwhelming. It's delightful and lovely. I can't wait to see where this story continues to go. 

All in all, I will recommend this! Look for full review to come!

Thanks for stopping by!
