<p>Rosa found a wounded English Soldier hiding in the bushes. She nursed the young man back to health and fell madly in love with him. The war separated them but they would always have a connection. He declared his undying love for her and she faithfully awaited her return.   The Robert did not know Rosa was carrying his child.  Rosa and the baby travel to London only to be rejected by Robert’s uncle.  It seems that Robert is married.  Rosa is heartbroken.  She leaves her son on Robert’s uncle’s doorstep.  As much as she loves her child she knows Robert’s uncle is wealthy and can better provide for him.</p>
<p>This is a great love story written in a classical style.  Derek Adie Flower is a superb writer.  Words are to Flower what a paint brush is to a painter.  The characters show great depth. This is not your typical romance.  There is great depth to the plot.  The plot keeps the reader guessing.  The reader is transported to a different time.  Flower was careful to keep things authentic.  All in all this is an enchanting read.</p>
