From Booklist
This gentle saga of a beautiful but seemingly cursed young nineteenth-century Englishwoman, Jerusha Carey, begins when her father deserts her before she's even born. Her mother follows suit when Jerusha turns six, and the pattern is set. As soon as she feels at home in a cheap boarding school, the headmistress dies and the school closes. When her London foster mother turns vicious and violent, the ever-hopeful Jerusha is rescued by a servant with unusual talents and many gentlemen friends. She then meets and marries a kindly farmer, but he, inevitably, dies in a terrible accident three years into their unconsummated marriage. Then a traveling man, accompanied by his bastard daughter, Marigold, appears. He is hired to work in her orchards, and they fall in love and marry, but he takes off for Canada before their first child is born. Newberry's sweet tale of trials and tribulations, survival and triumph has the same draw as family sagas by Catherine Cookson and Lurlene McDaniel. Diana Tixier Herald
