Sentence of Marriage: Promises to Keep (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781478288893)

"I won't have her forced," Jack said. "Let her decide for herself."

Amy knew her father meant it. She could say no if she wanted. But this marriage would make everything all right. They could put all the trouble she had caused behind them. Everyone would be happy again.

Everyone except her.

In nineteenth century New Zealand, there are few choices for a farm girl like Amy. Her life seems mapped out for her by the time she is twelve. Amy dreams of an exciting life in the world beyond her narrow boundaries. But it is the two people who come to the farm from outside the valley who change her life forever, and Amy learns the high cost of making the wrong choice.

Sentence of Marriage is the first book in the three-volume "Promises to Keep".
