Diamond in the Rough
is a fun read. It is Turano's second book in her American
Heiresses series, and it was
nice to become reacquainted with some of the characters from the
first book, particularly Beatrix Waterbury. This story centers around
Miss Poppy Garrison, granddaughter of Viola Van Rensselaer, who is
having her first social season in New York in payment to her
grandmother for a loan given to her parents as they expand their
horse farm into Kentucky. Mrs. Van Renssselaer is determined to see
her clumsy but exuberant granddaughter turned into a diamond of the
first water. She has tasked Mr Reginald Blackburn with seeing to it.
He is sorely vexed with Poppy's propensity for unusual mishaps, but
is not inclined to let a challenge go unmet.
While
fun-filled and lighthearted, this book also reminds the reader of our
duty as children of God to invest ourselves, not just our resources,
in the lives of those less fortunate. I am grateful to have received
a copy of this delightful book from Bethany House via NetGalley in
exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide
a positive review and received no monetary compensation.
