Description
Lost within the mingled struggles of life for a poor man in the midst of England's war-strewn history, young Avery Smith determines to find a place for himself. But what if there is no place willing to have him? Left to his own devices at the callow age of twelve, Avery blunders through a life of aimless mischief. All of this seems to come to a shuddering halt when he is captured and locked away in a dank prison cell. But mere bars and mortar are nothing to hold the accomplished thief known only as Rapscallion! Avery soon finds himself pursued harder than ever by the iron law of the land. Though he encounters many common folk in his travels, both kind and devious alike, none capture his attention so firmly as one, Amelia Bairns. The young woman is kind, well mannered, fair tempered, and an ardent Christian. She is every inch a lady. And what is he to do if she will not have him as well?
