104 p. : ill. ; 19 cm. "Bathsheba Everdene is young, proud, and beautiful. She is an independent woman and can marry any man she chooses - if she chooses. In fact, she likes her independence, and she likes fighting her own battles in a man's world. But it is never wise to ignore the power of love. There are three men who would very much like to marry Bathsheba. When she falls in love with one of them, she soon wishes she had kept her independence. She learns that love brings misery, pain, and violent passions that can destroy lives . . ." --Back cover A stranger in New York -- Newland has doubts -- The Countess causes trouble -- A second visit to the Countess -- May surprises Newland -- The wedding and beyond -- Newland in Boston -- The Beaufort scandal -- Ellen returns to New York -- Newland visits Paris.
