This book was very good, but in the beginning it was a little bit boring. Around the middle of the book, it started to improve. I liked this book, but I liked "Emily of the Wild Rose Inn" better. Now, that book got straight to the point. The Bridie book was good, but it was disappointing at the end. She could have stayed in Massachusetts and *TRY* to fit in. But I think she left because she couldn't stand the people of Mass. I won't blame her... Will Handy was infatuated with Bridie, she liked him too, but Will's old mother stopped him from leaving to Canada with Bridie. You know what though? I think they won't last, because she was so different from him. Overall, this was a good book. I recommend that you read it on a rainy day, since it's a depressing book. :)

This book was not a good book. The ending was HORRIBLE. I dont know how Will really loved her; he was just stunned by her beauty, and in the end he didn't really like her enough to go with her! I was like OMG! Why?!?

10 years ago, Bridie MacKenzie's parents left her behind in Scotland to build a new life in Massachusetts Bay Colony, promising to send for her soon. But 10 long years went by before Bridie finaly came to Massachusetts, and she's no longer a child, no longer able to adapt to her surroundings as easily. But Massachusetts itself isn't so bad. It's the people there, the laws they made. Bridie is a Catholic, and in Massachusetts you can only be a Puritan. Can Bridie build a home for herself in the harsh new land, and keep her religion alive within herself? Or will she have to leave the family she was just reuinited with to find a home elsewhere, where she can be true to her religion?
