Maggie Rose cares for her uncles and makes special perfumes, soaps and lotions from the roses that are part of her legacy. Just when she has given up hope that God has a husband for her, Todd Valmer brings his sick mother to her for care. When his mother is ready to continue on the way to Todd's Texas farm, he knows he won't be able to care for his mother and the farm. Maggie's uncle sees this as an answer to prayer. So they decide to wed in hopes that love will grow from the admiration they already feel for one another.
This book dragged a little and the "conflict" came mainly from Todd's mother trying to make Maggie into a Southern belle instead of the Ozark "hillbilly". One scene in particular made me laugh -- when Maggie served what they considered a "rodent" for dinner. Maggie is a strong female character and I enjoyed her but still not my favorite Cathy Marie Hake book, though.
