Roses hold a special place in many a woman's heart. Every once in a while my husband will surprise me with roses. The first time he had them delivered when I worked in a library. I cried...right there in front of the patrons. It was so sweet! Just the title of this book brought me back that moment in time and the love that I felt surrounding me.The Scent of Roses by Charlene Raddon tells the story of a young woman in the time of the "wild west." Rosalyn makes a trip from Salt Lake City, away from everything she knows to flee to a imagined safety. Once she gets there, she stumbles upon the murder of her "missing" husband.Rosalyn's predicament is made even worse because her husband has taken a second wife, but failed to mention that he was already married to Rosalyn. The plural marriage aspect of this novel drew me in even further. I can't seem to get enough of the TLC specials on plural marriage and this gave me yet another glimpse into this lifestyle.At the heart is a love story that can't be beat. Throw in some ghosts, hidden passageways, and the love a father gives a child, you've got a great read!
