Download Brooklyn Rose AudioBook Free
It's 1900--the dawn of a new century--and never in her wildest dreams did fifteen-year-old Rose Frampton ever think she'd leave her family and home on the peaceful shores of her island plantation in SC . . . especially never to live with a new husband in the land of the Yankees.
But she actually is doing just that. Rose's new lease of life with her handsome and wealthy husband in Brooklyn, NY, is both scary and exciting. As mistress of the large Victorian estate on Dorchester Road, she must figure out how to make decisions, establish her independence, and run a competent household. These tasks are difficult enough with no added complication of barely knowing her husband. As romance blossoms and Rose begins to find her place, she discovers that strength of character does not come easily but is essential for happiness.
Writing in diary form, Ann Rinaldi paints a sensual picture of time and place--and gives readers a romantic glimpse into the heart of a kid as she becomes a woman.
