ALONE in the city without money - without friends, mother and father gone, her home sold over her head, deserted by her only brother - for Marion Warren the world seemed to have stopped. But the long years of nursing an uncomplaining father had taught her a great lesson. And she stepped bravely into a new life. Things seemed pretty black until those roses came, each week a cool velvety bud - a red rose for courage - but never a hint of the giver. For it never entered Marion's head that rich, handsome Jeff Lyman would even notice a poor unobtrusive working girl.

This is one of Mrs. Hill's most beautifully written romances, a story of a girl whose courage in the face of adversity was finally rewarded beyond her wildest dreams.
