(2) YA In Restoration London, Meg Moore, sole heir to her father's print shop, expects to choose her own husband and exercise a rare independence. That is, until a comet appears portending disaster, and her father remarries. While Sturtevant's portrayal of a blended family could be true today, her depiction of women's roles is carefully researched, and this historical tale balances a realistic view of women's options with a hopeful ending.
