Penelope Scottsdale is faced with a dilemma when her spoiled sister refuses to respond to letters sent to her by a deployed soldier. Her sister wants nothing to do with the admirer, but Penelope doesn't have it in her heart to break his.

Rather than tell him the truth, she decides to take her sister's place and respond to the letters. In time, Penelope discovers the truth behind her sister's foul behavior, and her life spirals out of control. With new and frightening truths around every corner, Penelope finds herself turning to the soldier for advice and comfort.

When the soldier returns home a hero, forcing her to reveal the truth of her identity, she realizes she's in far over her head. She intended to tell him the truth long before his return, but the truth is so much more complicated than she ever imagined. After all, how do you tell someone you've never met that you've fallen in love with them under a false identity?

Jack Price, author of Carving Compact Characters and 50 Character Patterns for Woodcarvers, is a retired Texas public school administrator living in Cleburne, Texas. He began carving in 1975 and has specialized in compact figures since 1978. Jack definitely doesn't believe that bigger is better, as most of his carvings are only 2-3 inches in height. As he travels to display his carving talents, Jack is more than willing to share his carving knowledge with others. Jack is a founding member of CCA. He also belongs to several woodcarving groups and is past-president of the Texas Woodcarvers Guild.
