In 1917, Ruth Caldwell left Virginia for a new life in England. It mattered not to her that there was a war raging in Europe or that a ship could be blown out of the water by a German submarine. Ruth always got her own way and did as she pleased. Lawrence Townsend had invited her to his country house in England. That’s where Ruth learned her first lesson. About the Author:Millie Curtis has made her home in Clarke County, Virginia since 1975. This eighth book brings back a character from the trilogy Three Young ladies of Clarke. Her novels are a bit of history, a bit of humor and a bit of romance. She lives with her husband of sixty years and their fifteen-year-old dog, Bella.
