Summary
Faithfully nursing her ill father for five years has derailed Marion Warren’s plans for further education. When no will is found after their father’s death, her brother Tom decides to sell their family home in the city and move his young family to a Vermont farm. Naturally, Marion will always have a home with them—where she can help with housework and the children’s schooling.
Marion’s dream of taking classes and enjoying the city’s cultural offerings evaporates until, armed with only her faith, a meager purse and a quaking heart, she dares to make other plans. A job and a room in a shabby boarding house meet her basic needs; to feed her soul, she scrapes together funds for a season ticket in the upper balcony of the symphony concert hall.
A single perfect crimson rose lays on her seat at the first concert. A mistake surely, but since no one claims it she takes it home. Another rose appears the next week and the next. Who is the kindly benefactor who has brought such beauty into her lonely life?
