Phoebe Deane

Another story set in 1830s America, this time with Phoebe, a neighbor of Marcia's. On one hand the story is sweet and endearing, but on the other there's a greedy and evil-minded villain and villainess, and Phoebe gets boxed into a nasty situation by very one-sided individuals. It was nice to see Miranda again and book three is sure to be interesting with her as main heroine.
