Bookroo's summary

Rose Campbell returns from Europe to a whirlwind of suitors and societal expectations. As a wealthy heiress, she must discern true friends from fortune seekers. Meanwhile, her close friend Phebe Moore strives for independence, wary of relying on Rose's wealth. Their lives take unexpected turns when illness and reckless choices threaten their loved ones. Can Rose and Phebe navigate these trials and emerge stronger, discovering who they truly are? This journey of friendship and self-discovery unfolds in a world of glamour and hidden motives.

From the publisher

Before she wrote Little Women, Louisa May Alcott told this story of a ninteenth-century girl finding her way in society.

In this sequel to Eight Cousins, Rose Campbell returns to the “Aunt Hill” after two years of traveling around the world. Suddenly, she is surrounded by male admirers, all expecting her to marry them. But before she marries anyone, Rose is determined to establish herself as an independent young woman. Besides, she suspects that some of her friends like her more her money than for herself. How can Rose tell who her real friends are? Is there anyone she can count on?
