Debbie P. (LostInThePages) - , reviewed on 10/26/2013 + 35 more book reviews

This is the first book in the Buttons and Bobbins series by Jillian Hart. Over all I enjoyed the story, but I had real problems with the heroine Fiona. I just never warmed up to her. The other characters: her friends and Ian, I really enjoyed and look forward to reading the rest of the series to hear their stories. I also question the author's having let Fiona attend school when her parents were so abusive. Wouldn't they have kept her at home so she could do even more work for them? This was set in 1883 and they mention the one room school having a 12th grade I found that a little odd too. If this had been a stand alone book I'm not sure I would read anymore books by this author but I do have all 4 books in the series and will read them as I like all of the other characters and want to read their stories. Fiona would get 2.5, but her friends get a 4 from me.
