I love dragon stories of all kinds. This one lived up to it's expectations. It was about a girl named Rosalind (Rose) who was filled with shame. She was born with a dragon's claw instead of a finger. Her mother made her wear gloves in order to conceal the claw and sent healer's to try to fix the problem. This just made her feel even more shameful until one day she is whisked off by a true dragon. She is made to take care of the 4 babies he has since her "kind" killed their mother. There her claw is looked at as a thing of beauty. Rose (renamed Briar by the dragons) works hard while she's there and learns of the dragon history and also finds her true self. It's a story of growing up and seeing both sides of the story. The only downfall to the book was the amount of death that took place in such a small book. I found it to be quite depressing. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book.
