Resumen del Editor

The year is 1835, and Carolina Adams finds herself enchanted by an unlikely suitor: the railroad. Frustrated by society's expectations upon her gender, she longs to study more masculine subjects and is thrilled when her father grants her a tutor.

James Baldwin arrives to serve as Carolina's teacher, but of more importance, he is to court Carolina's beautiful older sister, Virginia.

Will expectations - and Virginia's Southern charm - elicit the hoped-for proposal? Or will James and Carolina dare to acknowledge the mutual interests and feelings growing between them?

The Southern Jane Austen

This book reminds of Jane Austens life ,in the sense like in Georgian England and the Antebellum South woman were not supposed to be. educated beyond grammar school.But as in Jane Austens family ,Jane
was encouraged to use her God given graces .In this case her writing
Where as the young lady Carolyn Adams (Whoes mothers calling is to prepareCarolyn to presented to society ,at the age of 16 ,and then,prepare her marriage .Unlike ,this case ,[For I do not know if this reflects all Antebellum southern society)How ever in England you are not
presented till your 18.You. have a sponsor .
Whereas in Carolyns case ,her sister, Virginia between 16-18 she has refused many. callers.,is now at 18 on the verge of spinsterhood
Both her father and mother have great love for each other and their
children .But their love is tested ,when Carolyns,father engages a tutor so Carolyn can quench her thirst for knowledge especially, for learning
about the r.r.Thiz tutorJames , is the intended husband for Virgini
Her father's response, to her mother's concern about what society's views of Carolyns desire to go beyond what is expected in terms of female
knowledge ,To not worry about what society thinks ,but;about what God
thinks and His will.
The reason ,I did not give it 4 stars,is a personal bias
I do not appreciate cliff hangers !

It's a Man's World...NOT! said Carolina Adams

An awesome tale of a young girl just coming of age where a young lady was expected to learn the arts of homemaking and social climbing. Carolina's inquisitive mind and her stubborn nature thought otherwise.

Distant Dreams

I had already written a fine review about the story and excellent narration. I guess that I had not signed my name and submitted it, it was deleted.

Now starting the BOOK 2 Ribbons of Steel Series.

Amazing narrator

I loved the story but I was amazed at the narrator. One the best I have ever heard! I tried to look up other books narrated by Marnye Young, but they don't seem to be of similar story lines, that is, clean wholesome historical romance. You will also enjoy the other 2 books in this series.

Ins and outs of interest

Liked the suspense and they wove the history of the railroads so well. There was suspense of what is the next step the characters will take next as well as the intrigues of the times both in women’s rights and railroads.

Distant Dreams

The ending fell very short . It took a direction that left me confused and empty . Not sure why , I can think of several different scenarios that would have been great conclusions.
