The Rose Amongst the Thorns is beautifully written book that will captivate you from beginning to end. Katherine is about to be known as the Countess of Leicester and tradition says she must marry. Lady Katherine faces challenges that our out of any women's expected life style. There is political pressure. Women fight to have their say and picking a suitor does not go as smoothly as expected. Realistically what choice does Lady Katherine have. Fate has put her in this position and with the support of the women around her she becomes stronger everyday. I cheered for Lady Katherine, I admired her strength and how she dealt with the fate handed her and how she shows others that all is not lost after a tragedy and things do happen in life for a reason. I felt I was right there at the jousting scene, one of my stand out parts of the book . I really hope that Lady Katherine will return sometime in the near future and we meet again.
