Description

Annemarie Duncan leaves the only home she's ever known and travels halfway around the world to find her remaining relatives. But when she arrives, they turn her away, scorning her as poor and unmarriageable.

With no other choice, Annemarie goes to the isolated and rugged countryside to be the companion for the cantankerous Lady Marigold. Inside the halls of Golden Gardens are the yells of an old woman. In the gardens, she finds something else. Something more dangerous for a young woman in her position…hope.

Will Annemarie's destiny be tied to Golden Gardens, or will her dreams be poisoned by broken promises?
