About this ebook
With two very different horizons stretched out before her, one young woman stands on the cusp of an unknown future.
Sheltered since birth at her Kentucky home, Rowena "Wren" Ballantyne has heard only whispered rumors of her grandfather Silas's vast fortune and grand manor in Pennsylvania. When her father receives a rare letter summoning him to New Hope, Wren makes the journey with him and quickly finds herself in a whole new world--family members she's never met, dances she's never learned, and a new side to the father she thought she knew.
As she struggles to fit in during their extended stay, she finds a friend in James Sackett, the most valued steamship pilot of the Ballantynes' shipping line. Even with his help, Wren feels she may never be comfortable in high society. Will she go her own way . . . to her peril?
With her signature attention to historical detail and emotional depth, Laura Frantz brings 1850s Pennsylvania alive with a tender story of loss, love, and loyalty.

Wren has been raised in Kentucky with very little to do with her wealthy Pennsylvania family. Her father and she have been happy in their small home making violins and music. She has never been interested in the finer things of life, bear foot and wearing stained dresses is enough for her. When her father receives a letter and they leave for Pennsylvania. Wren is not prepared for the drastic change. She has never even imagined a "season" nor is she interested in being in one. When thrown into the world of the 'ton' she is not sure she can live up to the expectations of the Ballantyne name. She must decide to either follow her heart or do her duty. James Sackett is just a devoted Steamship pilot for the Ballantynes' family. He is not prepared to meet Wren nor the feelings he tries to hide from her.

I loved the first two books but I really disliked the way the ending is. Just cut off basically.. as a reader you want to know more that happens to the character after their happy ending.
