Lavinia's rewards were few, and she often dreamed of seeking a new life . . . but she knew she was trapped, and she could only watch life passing her by.Then the postman brought Lavinia a letter. It was from someone she had never forgotten--a man, whose gift of a single rose and everlasting love had reached out from the past to change Lavinia's life forever!"Miss Lavinia's Call" is only one of the fourteen endearing, heartwarming stories in this collection of Grace Livingston Hill's earliest works.
