Plot Summary of Amorelle
"George Horton was handsome and wealthy, and he had all but swept lovely Amorelle Dean off her feet with his unexpected marriage proposal. Amorelle accepted, but as time passed she became more and more doubtful. George really didn't seem to care for her thoughts, beliefs, or intermost feelings. How could they be happy?

Then, as if in answer to her prayers for guidance, Amorelle unexpectedly found herself sharing a wonderful day with another man. A man who seemed to speak the language of her heart. Now she knew what true love could be-and what she must do. But is she too late to change her mind?"

Rebecca, Resident Scholar
