Yay for Kirsten Osbourne - a heroine of a book who is NOT perfect!!  She's quite handicapped (for the 1800's) by a leg that is several inches shorter than the other (and back then they didn't just build up your shoe).  A parent kept her apart from others  - at that time a disability was often something you hid totally.  I am myself handicapped somewhat.  This lady was fortunate enough where her gumption in leaving home paid off.  It wasn't easy -- and back then things like "physical therapy" just didn't exist.  But her new husband was a gem -- he was attracted to her inner strength.  I'm living that dream (my husband was attracted to my inner strength & determination) myself.  Hopefully this book will not only provide a good read, but I'm hoping this character will encourage other woman who are less than physically perfect.  There is hope!  And there ARE good men out there!!
