Publisher's Synopsis
Rowan is devastated when her mother dies. And when her father marries a scheming woman who makes it clear she doesn't see Rowan as part of her new family, she finds herself facing a desolate future at the asylum. Yet Rowan refuses to give up hope. With her mother's cherished red ribbon tied around her wrist, she draws on the strength of her spirit to plot a daring escape to a nearby town. It is here that Rowan finds work as an apprentice to a bonnet and dressmaker, discovering a natural talent for colour and detail that brings success beyond her wildest dreams.
