Her Heart for a Compass by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess 568 pages
The book Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, worked on for 18 years. It is a pleasing story of an independent woman who stands up for herself against her father and the suitors who would ask for hand. She did not want to be under the rule of a man but wanted to live her life equally respected in her own right during the Victorian Age when this was certainly not the norm. The Victorian Age is a special favorite of Sarah Ferguson and in doing research for her novel, she learned a lot of her family's history and even added some of the family member's stories to this one. A well done story that will keep you interested and maybe introduce you to an insider's view to what life at court is actually like. I will be reading Sarah's next book. I recommend this one to middle schoolers on up, to all who enjoy historical romances and all things royal.
