Laura MacKenzie

What can I say...Jennifer Armstrong has outdone herself with this series and Larua's story tops the MacKenzie family roster. I first discovered the Wild Rose and Marblehead when I was 15 years old. I was in a Boscov's Department store bored out of my mind while my grandparents shopped. I stoped in the historical fiction section and well...the rest is history. I love Laura MacKenzie, she is so passionate and pure about things. Her triumphs and trials through her stroy remind me of my own...and because of her dedication and unflinching loyalty to her beliefs she shines with victory!! I would recomend this book to anyone with a stout heart, mind, and soul!!

Great book!

Laura MacKenzie wishes her family would update their two hundred year old inn for the coming century. But they run it the way it's been run since their ancestors came to America in 1685. Laura wants to go to college, to be modern and educated. Her parents refuse to allow her to go. Can Laura fufill her dream?
