Margaretta desperately needs to escape London society, and it isn't just the flighty whim of a spoiled miss. Trying to trace the path of a friend who recently vanished into the countryside, she follows the trail to the town of Marlborough, the girl's last known location. While seeking word of her, Margaretta attracts the attention of a local solicitor--and attracting attention is the last thing she wants to do. Will she find her friend, or will she find a better solution to her troubles?I always love a good story, but I really appreciate it when a prequel sets up a series--and this book does a perfect job. Not only is it a different spin on why a girl might find herself alone and on the run, but it also sets up a haven for others in desperate need, and hence the series. As such, it has a bit heavier subject matter than the author's previous books, but it promises to be both intriguing and moving. I just wish we didn't have to wait until June for the first full-length novel! And in case you were worried, the story is still rich with the author's characteristic humor, and heart-warming as ever.
