This is a superb book (as are all her others)! My grandmother let me borrow this book when I was back home in Scotland visiting for the summer and I started it at 11 p.m. and finished it a 5 a.m. I could not put it down. This is about a young girl who is sold to an orphanage in Glasgow because her parents can't afford to keep her and when she becomes of age she is shipped to Canada with a load of other children and they are sold as wokers on farms. She receives scarlet ribbons as a gift and it is her one true prized possession because it is all she really has of her own. The story follows the young girl into adulthood and her search for love. Of course the scarlett ribbons have meaning but if I say any more it will ruin it for you. The characters are so well developed that they will creep into your heart and will stay there forever. If you have time to sit and really enjoy this book - do it!!!! I can't say enough about it. If you love this one, you will love her other books too.

A friend in work loaned this book to me some weeks ago. I read it at every spare moment and since finishing it i cannot stop thinking about it. The story is about a girl who has a rough upbringing and there is plenty of good old fashioned romance and tear jerking storylines.I have never read such a brilliant book.
