A spellbinding novel of enduring love, set in 18th century America and France Daniel Lombard falls in love with Louise de Vailly on the day she arrives in New York, a refugee from the French Revolution which has destroyed the lives of Louise, her sister Delphine and so many other French aristocrats. Though unsure of what they will find in the New World, Louise is a brave and determined young woman, not one to wallow in self-pity. Soon she has found work for Delphine and herself in a millinery, where she uses her innate talent and French flair for fashion to make herself indispensable. Though attracted to Daniel, Louise is equally determined that she will remain independent, not tied to any man. Fatefully, she has made that mistake in the past...

Other than that, this is pretty much the standard Rosalind Laker formula. Beautiful woman strikes out for a career and financial independence against all odds, finds true love that wins out in the end all of which is set in an historical setting and well sprinkled with historical details and facts to give the reader a good sense of time and place. Definitely not Laker's best book (that would be To Dance With Kings), but I would only recommend this for die hard Laker fans or for those looking for a light, easy read. I was going to give this 3.5 stars, but the abrupt ending left me wanting just a few more pages to round the story out -- all those near misses just for that!!! ( )
