This is the tale of Mary Varrs and her pursuit of eduction in a time where women were not considered 'educatable'. In Varrs' world she must choose between the education she wants (and the consequences that go with it) or a traditional family life.
Enter a meddlesome Aunt/neighbor, a quilting project and one handsome nephew - and the story heats up quick! I loved this tale! The characters were likable and I liked how the females were so true to their times. Often authors take liberties to make the women be defiant towards societal rules and God because of their station in life. Welborn kept Mary a true lady at all times and I thoroughly appreciated that.
