About the book:

It’s 1871, and sweet, fifteen-year-old Millicent doesn’t care for the idea of being sent away to boarding school. Until now, she has been educated at home. Millicent reluctantly goes to Science Hill Female Academy in Shelbyville, Kentucky, and learns much more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. She discovers herself and uncovers long-buried truths. Her brother, Martin, has always been her best friend and ally, but his life veers in an unexpected direction, and a hidden love comes to light. Secrets and lies have become ordinary for the Gilbert family. Faith and a deep-rooted love for each other may bring them through their trials, but forgiveness will be difficult to attain.
