(Horn Book Magazine on Paperweight)<br /><br />Hastons contribution to the genre stands out for the complexity of its characters and for small, telling details that demonstrate just how difficult recovery can be. (Publishers Weekly (starred review) about PAPERWEIGHT)<br /><br />Biting and brave, Meg Hastons writing is so emotionally elegant that at times I had to read and reread just to savor it. Im the wiser for having read this book, and I cant wait to see what she writes next.

  England, 1571
  
  
  A brief but passionate flirtation with the dashing Sir Robert Erroll had
  Margaret Clifford dreaming they would be wed—until Robert left for the
  continent without a word, breaking her heart.
  
  
  Robert never forgot Meg, or gave up hope that she would wait for him to make
  his fortune. But after three years abroad, he has returned to court to
  discover a cold, distant woman in place of the innocent maiden he left behind.
  
  
  Yet Robert can sense the desire that still burns within her. And when a
  snowstorm forces them to take refuge for the night, he is determined, come
  Christmas morn, to have melted the ice that has built up around Meg’s
  heart....

  “What is the meaning of this?” Meg cried. She was
  
  
  trying to stay calm and coolheaded, to not show him her emotions at being near
  
  
  him again. Leaving herself open to him had only wounded her last time. But her
  
  
  voice came out sharper than she’d intended, and she couldn’t seem to stop
  
  
  shaking.
