(  ) lindahallmann | Oct 19, 2009 |  This is the first in a series of books by Julie Garwood about the Claybourne family, and I think the most thorough. Sadly, I read it last, but each book holds its own as a novel. This one simply explains the characters and their background a bit more. One character, after reading all the other four books, I'd never realized was African American until I'd read this book! But it's an amazing book, a wonderful read, and a definite page turner! (  ) madamemeow | Jul 5, 2008 | Excellent book. I don't often care for historical romances, but I really enjoyed this one. The characters are interesting and well-developed. The story had me riveted. ( ) Camethyste | Apr 14, 2008 | A long and involved story about a group of boys who find a girl child thrown on a rubbish heap. They decided that they should become a family and bring her up. They're held together by loyalty and love and the girl that they've called Mary Rose has just returned from school. Lord Harrison Stanford MacDonald has arrived at their town and Mary Rose has taken pity on him as it looks like he's lost in their town. However he has a secret that could break the family apart. I liked the story and enjoyed the characters, I would like to read more in this series and meet more of them again. (  ) wyvernfriend | Sep 17, 2007 | This was the first book I read from Garwood and put me in a frenzy to read the rest of her books. The story in FOR THE ROSES is driven by love and loyalty. While a bit hoaky, the twists and turns, and the reality of slavery (and how it tore families apart) was heartwrenching. Garwood captured the essence of love and family. A truly magical book.
