Her sister Harriet older than her, her father agrees would make a more suitable marriage, Sarah is only eighteen years old far to young. Sarah is immediately swept off her feet by this gallant man.

Very good book.
The book kept me enthralled. I could not put it down until I finished it - it kept me in suspense.
