About this book
A carefully prepared welcome awaits Millicent Almsford at a California ranch, but arrival brings homesickness as well as kindness. She has come from the Adriatic coast to spend a year among relatives she scarcely knows. Barbara Deering helps her settle into a room furnished with handmade gifts, while the surrounding orchards, rose garden and dry golden hills establish the setting of Maud Howe Elliott's romance.
The household's practical comforts meet Millicent's polished manners and habits, giving the opening its interest in differences of upbringing. Later, the painter Graham examines books she has given him and discovers a handwritten diary in Italian. His affection for Millicent and his thoughts about artistic work bring a more inward mood to the story.
