Description Conducive To Books The Stolen One
No one wanted you. But I did.
Kat's true identity is a secret, even from her. All she has ever known are Grace and Anna and their small village. Kat wants more than hours spent embroidering finery for wealthy ladies and more than Christian, the gentle young farmer courting her.
But there are wolves outside, Grace warns. Waiting, with their eyes glowing in the dark . . . and Grace has given Kat safety and a home when no one else would.
Then a stranger appears in their cottage, bringing the mystery of Kat's birth with her. In one night, Kat's destiny finds her: She will leave. She will journey to London, and her skill with the needle will attract the notice of the magnificent Queen Elizabeth—and of the wolves of the court. She will discover what Grace would never tell her.
Everything will unravel.

Kat was raised by a woman not her mother (Grace), who claimed no one wanted Kat. Grace taught Kat how to embroider until her skills grew proficient enough to earn a good living for their family. Grace's own daughter, Anna, is deaf but can read lips and is as close to Kat as a real sister. Christian, a handsome shepherd boy living next door, asks Kat to marry him, but Kat feels she cannot answer him until she finds out the truth of her parents and her birth. When Grace dies, Kat moves to theKatherine isn't the most likable heroine, nor is any of the romance in this satisfying (as in you want the characters to end up together). Anna is the only one who truly is innocent in this whole mess, unwillingly pulled into Kat's pursuit of her birthright and wrongly hurt along the way.But this isn't one of those stories that you read to become attached to the characters. You read it because it is an interesting "what if" historical-fiction. Unfortunately, I cannot tell my Readers what the
Even though set in Elizabethan England, heroine Kat Bab is modern in her determination to discover her true identity and parentage, her desire to live a "big life" away from the village, and in her struggle over whom to love. Crowley's research of the times is evident in the vivid descriptions of the village and court life, especially the embroidery and clothing details. I solved the mystery of her identity much earlier than Kat did, and so was a little surprised that it took her so long, but I
It was really hard for me to connect to this book from the very beginning...I really like the plot...the idea of an unknown past it really kept me reading but the more I read the more I realized I was not connecting with the story. The characters and the writing arereallyreally good! Kat is definitely a little something I dont know why but sometimes she remind me of Ms. Scarlet OHara from Gone with the Wind the character of Queen Elizabeth I really liked I just wish to get to know more about
Plot Sketch: Kat, a red-headed, spirited girl was raised in the country with her sister, Anna by Grace Bab, a woman the locals in Winchcombe called a witch. To survive, the three crafted beautiful garments and sold them as luxury goods. Grace's best friend was Christian, the pear farmer boy up the road. Although they were raised as cousins, Grace has assured Godfrey, her brother, and Agnes, his wife that it would be okay for Christian to marry Kat because Kat is not of her blood. After a set of
I had the same views of those who have read and already rated this as a 2-3 stars. Thus, I won't repeat the same things again. I'll just list them down:1. The protagonist herself. Urgh!2. The romance. I'm so disappointed in it. No words could describe it.3. Christian! I've never in my life detested so much the-guy-who-gets-the girl character before.4. The random paranormal and mystical elements insinuated in the book which led me to a reaction of "DUH????!" after finishing the book.5. The kind
I was not sure how I would approach my review of The Stolen One until I came across this sentence: "My heart began to beat." This comes from the first-person narrator, Katherine "Kat" Bab, who is very much alive. From that point onward, it was open season on Suzanne Crowley and The Stolen One. Until I reached that fateful sentence, I was having difficulty forming any opinion about the book. It certainly wasn't great, but there were also very few problems with it. For the most part, it was just a
