Resumen
In this delightful sequel to The Ornament Tree, Bonnie leaves for college, but before she leaves she urges Clare to keep her dangerous secret from the loving, unconventional family who lives in the big, old Seattle boarding house. But Bonnie's secret is not all that concerns Clare. While letters bring word of her cousin's determined pursuit of a medical career, Clare wonders about her own future. She does not have Bonnie's fierce ambition, and she is unsure of what she wants for herself. She is in love with a man she believes loves someone else, and it often seems that everyone takes her for granted. But when Clare finds an abused child and his dog, their perilous world shows her where she is needed, and a mysterious young man shows her where she is wanted.

Reseñas en medios
Very much a sequel to The Ornament Tree (1996), this starts off slowly as we get reacquainted with the family of strong Deveraux women and their boarding-house guests in Seattle in the 1920s. Bonnie is now off on a dangerous trip to China before starting medical school, and the viewpoint has shifted to her quiet, younger cousin, Claire, who at 16 decides that she doesn't want far-off adventure and a blazing career but rather independence and self-sufficiency at home. Through Claire's eyes, we see the attraction of her lively, politically active community, led by her "ferocious" women relatives who fight injustice and help the poor, and who do it with style. No one is idealized, neither the women nor those they help, including a small boy and his dog, who find shelter in the boarding house. Best of all is the half-reluctant romance that grows between Claire and one of the guests, a warm, cranky, partially blinded World War I veteran who loves her. Booklist, ALA
"Keeping secret her cousin Bonnie's plans to travel to China, sixteen-year-old Clare Harris contemplates her own future in this sequel to THE ORNAMENT TREE. Clare becomes more interested in helping the underprivileged in 1920s Seattle and more involved in the small dramas taking place at her family's lively boarding house. For those who enjoyed the first book, this installment will more than satisfy." Horn Book
