I liked this book.

The year is 1916. The place is a tiny New England village called Camden - where a newly divorced woman learns that love can be more special the second time around ...

When free-thinking divorcee Roberta Jewett returns to her hometown of Camden, Maine, she discovers that small-town folk consider a divorced woman little more than a prostitute. Condemned by her mother and scorned by neighbors, she nonetheless perseveres in her struggle to forge a good life for her girls and herself. Behaving like no "respectable" woman would, she gets a job as a county nurse, learns to drive, and buys her very own Model T. Embittered by her painful marriage to an unfaithful husbnad, she has no intention of being any man's victim again. So when widowed carpenter Gabriel Farley begins work renovating her house, Roberta's first response to him is blatant resentment. But Gabriel's quiet, vibrant masculinity soon finds a way to soothe Roberta's heart.

And in the ultimate test of will and devotion, she must depend on the man she has grown to love and summon the courage to stand up to an entire town.

This book is no longer available for trade. It's been promised to LeighBCD, another bookcrosser, in exchange for one of her books.

Just put in the mail today to go to LeighBCD in England. Hope you enjoy it!

Just received in the mail from RealBookWorm... thank you so much! This was a nice surprise to receive first thing Monday morning! I will read this and release it again into the wild.

It took me a while to get into this but once I did, I enjoyed it. The book took a surprising turn, which was interesting. The characters are a bit anachronistic, but that is ok - it is still pretty entertaining. If only every woman had a Gabriel Farley, our lives would be so much better!

Thanks RealBookWorm. I have released this book into a wonderful location. I think it has been picked up, lets cross our fingers and hope that whoever found this book at the Rose Garden in Syon House is inspired to make a journal entry here to let us know that what they thought of it!

Released on Sunday, June 15, 2003 at Syon House in Brentford, Middlesex United Kingdom.

I left this book on a glorious summers day, sitting on a bench overlooking the Rose Garden at Syon House, the home of the Dukes of Northumberland. I hope whoever finds this book enjoys it and leaves a note here to let us know that the book found a safe home. Welcome to Bookcrossing!

Given to me by a friend in Bristol. I read it on my way to Hong Kong. It was an enjoyable read and whiled away many hours in transit.
