A Rose in Plotlands: Her heart aches to belong. His heart beats just for her. In a world that tries to separate them, can love prevail?
5-Star Review - 'The main draw of this book for me was its well-developed and multi-layered characters, not just Rae and Jamie. Even the secondary characters feel like real people with distinct personalities, and the relationship dynamics are compelling. Author Dawn Knox is a master of her craft and knows how to keep the reader invested in her characters.' Pikasho Deka for Readers' Favorite

The story follows the life of Hannah-Rae and her off/on friendship with Jamie. It's full of warmth and innocence with numerous twists and turns and just when you think it's all going to be alright, it isn't...at least for another few chapters. This story really carries you along as you get to know the characters.
