That Girl, Jennifer! — Rona Randall

To the surrounding countryside, Jennifer Howard was tarred with the same brush as her notorious brother, Brent, overbearing and domineering, brutal with his fellow men but amazingly gentle with his farm animals, and Colin, weak, arrogant and lazy. Jennifer thought she did not care; no one had ever been kind to her since her parents died and Brent was unwillingly forced to give up medical school to care for the farm and his younger brother and sister… But Michael Vale, new rector of the Church at Elmbourne, did not share the countryside's opinion. He had fallen in love with Jennifer almost the first time he had seen her -- and he knew he must use all his strength and understanding to help restore the dignity and human kindness which the outcast Howard's had tried so long to deny.
