Rose's new life with her handsome and wealthy husband in Brooklyn, New York, is both scary and exciting. As mistress of the large Victorian estate on Dorchester Road, she must learn to make decisions, establish her independence, and run an efficient household. These tasks are difficult enough without the added complication of barely knowing her husband. As romance blossoms and Rose begins to find her place, she discovers that strength of character does not come easily but is essential for happiness. <p/>Writing in diary form, Ann Rinaldi paints a sensual picture of time and place--and gives readers an intimate glimpse into the heart of a child as she becomes a woman.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Rinaldi describes the teen's first year of marriage with grace, tact, and sensitivity.--<i>School Library Journal </i> <p/>Fans of romance will be swept up.--<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>ANN RINALDI</b> is an award-winning author best known for bringing history vividly to life.
