Book summary

In Kentucky, young Patricia Adair must save Rosemeade, the family home where her grandfather lives. She writes a play drawn from her great-grandmother’s love letters.

The benefits of the bilingual method with Line-by-line synced layout

Every line of the original has its translation directly beneath it, at the same height. You never lose your place: your eye drops one line and lands on exactly the sentence it just read.
