title: A Victorian Rose (English Ivy, Book 4)
author:  Catherine Palmer 
description: In 1839 Yorkshire, Clemma Laird, a gifted watercolor artist and widow, unexpectedly meets the reviled Dr. Paul Baine. Rumor has it that Paul's practice is immoral because he terminates unwanted pregnancies. Clemma learns that this was true early in his career but that Paul soon stopped performing the procedure and for many years has been seeking atonement by supporting unwed pregnant women and placing their children into good homes. She helps Paul accept Christ's gift of salvation, allowing love to bloom between them. Fans of the companion volume, English Ivy, and other titles by the award-winning Palmer will enjoy this light and tightly written romance. For more conservative collections. <BR>Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  friend,	who	even	knew	the	number	of	Ivy’s	frugal	prepaid	cell	phone.	The	call	had	come	just	as	she
  was	going	to	her	second	college	class	of	the	day.	The	argument	could	have	waited	until	the	evening,
  but	her	older	sister	never	thought	of	anyone’s	convenience.	Well,	except	her	own,	that	was.
