Miss Lavinia's Call — Grace Livingston Hill

Lovely, gentle Lavinia West lived a simple life selflessly tending to the needs of her brother's demanding family. Her rewards were few, and she often dreamed of seeking a new life of love, excitement and true womanhood. But she felt hopelessly trapped, helplessly submissive--until the postman arrived with a letter. It was written by someone she had never forgotten. A man whose gifts of a single rose and everlasting love now reached out of the past to forever brighten her future.
