I'll be honest, dear readers, that I picked this one up strictly because I needed a story set in Maryland for my summer reading challenge. I really knew nothing about it (the state or the book, although my aunt and uncle lived there for a while). But, the book was short and free on Project Gutenberg, so why the heck not?
This little romance novel follows Tom, a man of some little fame, who goes to visit some of his friends in Maryland. There, he meets a lovely young woman named Betty, after she slips and twists her ankle while playing in the river. Tom attempts to be coy, refusing to reveal his real name, and despite the secrets, the two strike up a charming friendship.
Mysteries abound, however, in this brief tale, as other characters hint at something—or someone—of note at the farmhouse where Betty is staying. And everything comes to a head when Tom and Betty take a boating trip, and get caught in a horrible storm.
It's really hard to say much without giving away the brief plot, so I'm going to stop here. But, I recommend you check this one out. It's nothing crazy, but I enjoyed it.
