This is one of the very best books I have read.  I usually figure out the ending well before I get there but not this one.  Freddie (Fredericka) is an eighteen year old orphan forced to live with her father's brother and family.  She is not treated as one of the family so she writes her guardian for permission to live with him.  He thinks she is a male and agrees.  He has all but been a hermit for the past ten years after being accused of murdering his beautiful wife.  The household staff is afraid for her well being and does not warm up to her until he hires his late wife's companion for Freddie.  I love the way Ms. Bolen reminds the reader of the respect shown to women in that era.  Too bad respect is not taught today as then.  I won't say anymore for fear I will give away the ending.  This is a book I will read again.
