One of my favorite childhood books

I haven't read this book in a long time, but when coming up with a list of books from my childhood I want to re-read, this book topped the list. I have no idea what I'll think when I re-read it now after a good 15 years or so, but I remember it being an inspiring story of a young girl's courage in difficult times. It may not be historically accurate, but it is a lovely fictional story of a girl's coming of age.

Wow

I absolutly adored this book!!! It is a book dwelling on the powers of love and an indavidual's belifs. In the book, Coery is being forced to marry a man she does not know because her father is going away to fight a war. Her mother died when Corey was young. Along the way in this book, Corey falls in love with her betrothed Ethan. I give this book five stars for sheer ingenuity and class. I'm going to hunt down this book and add it to my personal library. enjoy this book as I have. ^_^
