Brooke's Daughter

The Annonciades gardens were nearly empty after the holidays, and Lesley Brooke stood among the roses waiting for the family she had scarcely been allowed to name. Mother is coming for me at last, and Grandfather is with her; surely that means I am going home. You step into this one-chapter preview with Lesley Brooke at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Then let that initial lead us home, and let no one call my questions disobedience. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
