Lady Helen Finds Her Song
When Lady Helen Poulter accompanies her mother and new stepfather, Brigadier-General Jim Stackhouse, to India in 1813, she is enthralled by the strange and colorful land and people she encounters in Calcutta. She discovers, however, that danger and cruelty lurk behind its beauty. Will disillusionment turn her against this new land? And will she choose to wed young Lieutenant Bancroft, who is handsome and charming, or Captain Michael Rhodes, a steady friend and kindred spirit?
This is a coming-of-age novel, in which the good-hearted but inexperienced 18-year-old heroine learns to mistrust superficial appearances and appreciate what is truly important in life, most especially the love that is willing to make sacrifices for others. This gentle romance, which extols the virtues of tolerance and understanding of different cultures, will appeal mainly to readers of inspirational novels.
