Being Mary Ro

"Mary Rourke knows the loneliness of surviving as a woman on her own in the late nineteenth century. Not by choice, but by trust-broken trust. Years ago, she gave her heart away, only to have it shattered by quarrel and duty. Now her former sweetheart is back, along with a mysterious stranger who may or may not hold the key to her future. Journey with Mary through a series of unexpected adventures that will launch her from the simple life of outport Newfoundland to the sophisticated realm of upper-class Boston. Challenging the dictates of tradition in pursuit of becoming a new person, she must ask herself if what she truly needs already lives within."--
