Melanie Daniels is a rejected country girl (the reason is in the title of the book) who is finding life extremely hard. Scorned by others because of the family see belongs to, she pines for hope, for escape from the life she has of dull work and lots of drudgery. She longs for a companion, and after a long wait it comes in the form of a handsome gentleman. Taken to New York, a new life begins for her, but not as she expected it.A beautiful period piece set in the turn of the 20th Century when New York was bustling.I was generally taken by the whole story and the way the author writes. In Elisa DeCarlo we clearly have a talented author. I hope I get to read more of her work in the future.
