Customer Reviews

A very fascinating book to read.

This book involves a girl named Janet.She expierences a death of her father. She also loves to write. This story based on Janet desciribes how her life begins at age nine reading the book Little Women ending older as being a teacher reading the same book, but with a whole different prespective. This book of my opinion is a wonderful book for all ages wanting to have a good book in there hands.

I read this book and it is a great book!

This book is a great book. It deals with a lot of good situations.The little girl is an extremly good writer. She moves from her home to scotland with her mother after the death of her father.Then they move back to England and she moves to Americia to become a teacher.There she moves in with a family and falls in love with the oldest son Stephen. Then they have to try and keep their love a secret.

Wonderful story for all ages!

I loved this book! It is, among other things, the touching story of a young woman's talent for writing and is great at describing the feeling of the era in which the book is set. Trying to squish the book's good points into a 1,000 word paragraph is impossible so I have one suggestion: Read the book! It will delight and enchant all generations... definitely a 5 star book!
