"[...] One day, sitting there, I remember we had a great argument about studying. Preston began with saying that I must not mind this governess that was coming, nor do anything she bade me unless I liked it. As I gave him no answer, he repeated what he had said. "You know, Daisy, you are not obliged to care what she thinks." I said I thought I was. "What for?" said Preston.[...]".

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. great Christian fiction By Steven Christy This is the 3rd book I've read by this author and so far I have loved every one of them. Please note that this book is actually the 2nd in a 3 part series: Melbourne House (which is so long it is sometimes subdivided into volumes 1 & 2), Daisy, and finally, Daisy in the Field (or something along those lines...I'm not exactly sure of the title). Not knowing this, I read the second and third books before finding the first so the story was a bit jumbled for me, but I enjoyed it anyway. One of the main reasons I like this author is that she has a gift for describing the real-life struggles women face as they battle sin and try to apply Scripture to their lives...and she does it without preaching at you. While I don't agree with every Scriptural application her characters make, it gives me food for thought and an enjoyable story along the way.

This book was very interesting reading. It takes place just before the Civil War. Daisy is the child of Southern plantation owners. She gives her heart to the Lord Jesus at a young age and knows that it is morally wrong to "own" another person. She tries to help the slaves on her father's plantation, her parents being gone overseas for several years, leaving the plantation under the control of a cruel overseer. The author lived during the time she is writing about, so it is fascinating to discover the feelings of Northerners and Southerners representative of people she knew during this period of history. We also get to know the feelings of different slaves with whom she becomes very close. I think the writing is excellent, and the story has enough suspense to keep you turing the pages, but the best thing about this book is the way you get to go on a time-machine trip back to this period of history in the U.S. and watch and listen to the people. As a woman, I found the detailed description of women's clothing an added attraction, as were the emotional dynamics at a Northern finishing school that Daisy attended as a teenager.

A young Christian lady on the brink of our Civil War - but not a preachy book, has a lot to offer today's reader By deborah I read this without knowing there was a prequel ("Melbourne House"). There was a lot in here for thought. The book gets started as 14-year old Daisy arrives at her parents' Southern plantation estate and learns for the first time exactly where their wealth comes from. A young Christian, she is appalled and sets herself to doing everything she can for the slaves, who are not allowed to meet for prayer, have no church to go to, and most of whom can not read, and so are cut off from the Bible. Her parents are overseas, and she feels very alone and powerless to resist a dreadful governess as well as a cruel overseer.At first I thought, "Oh no. A preachy anti-slavery story." But it's much better than that. Her temptations and frustrations are very real. In the middle of the book, she is rescued from her overwhelming situation by a kind family friend and brought to school in the North. Again she must face real temptations - envious, spiteful roommates at her new school, and struggles (as well as failures) to truly follow Christ that are not easy and not won without suffering.In the third part of the book, she is taken by her guardian to West Point military school, where she sees signs of the developing North vs. South conflict and must stand by her loyalties as a Christian, even though they conflict with a dearly loved childhood friend.I didn't give this book five stars because it ended extremely abruptly (I didn't know there was more story in another book). Also, I didn't think the author put Daisy with the best man, and I hope this is corrected in the third book. Also, I didn't always think the author was exactly spot on in some of her character's conclusions about how a Christian soldier must act, although in most things the book did give me a lot to think about and some guidance I was lacking in my own life.
