Malcolm Herrick has it all: he is a lawyer, he has no financial problems, and he has wonderful friends and even an adopted sister. He is a dutiful boy to his mother. He is a loving friend. But he wanted something else. He wanted to be a poet or an artist. He wanted a country home with more freedom. A home where he could really feel at home. He wanted someone to nurture and love him. Now, he wants Elizabeth Templeton, his best friend's sister. This book is about taking some of what you have, getting some of what you want, and fulfilling a few dreams. - Summary by Stav Nisser. (15 hr 40 min)

I enjoyed this very much! It had so much heart and loveliness. And the characters were complex and satisfying. Some of the readers were excellent and really contributed to the beauty of the story.
