Left with little dowry to offer, Miranda faces a broken engagement, and is sent to live with her father's cousin, the Count John Hardwood, and his wife whose primary goal is to take her to Court and marry her off to the insufferable Lord Seagrave for their own profit. At Queen Elizabeth's court, Miranda soon learns that a large part of her survival will depend on her knowing who to trust. All the maidens at Court dream of being one of the Queen's ladies in waiting. When Miranda distinguishes herself from the rest with her exquisite sewing and embroidery skills, she gets the attention of the Queen, much to the anger and jealousy of the courtiers, ladies in waiting, and even a trusted "friend." As Miranda begins to win the Queen's favor, she is given the ultimate test-to recreate Elizabeth's mother's (Ann Boleyn) coronation gown. Miranda knows this is her opportunity to escape the shackles of convention and get out of a marriage to Lord Seagrave and instead establish an independent life at Court as the Queen's seamstress. But how will she reunite with Henry Raleigh, the man to whom she was once promised, and has always loved?With sophisticated writing, an eye for historically accurate detail, and a flair for suspense, Jacqueline Kolosov re-creates the intrigues of Elizabethan society with a vividness and immediacy that will make teen readers recall the pleasures and tensions of their own lives. 6113888 9 6 2009 A Sweet Disorder total:35|5:10|4:15|3:5|2:5|1:0| 35 135 213 11 5 0 false false Sat Jul 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 14:22:03 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 14:27:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 09:27:44 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 09:57:33 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false true Wed Jun 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 22:42:31 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 17:34:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 19:48:11 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 14:27:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Sep 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 12:20:07 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 15:47:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 06:09:02 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 09:12:44 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 21:18:53 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 21:20:17 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jun 26 16:19:29 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 16:19:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Sep 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 13:58:19 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 21:39:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Sep 17 09:52:13 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 13:29:14 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon May 18 09:06:50 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 10:07:57 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Nov 23 17:54:48 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 17:54:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 16:40:39 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 16:40:39 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 07 12:36:46 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 12:36:46 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 30 10:46:26 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 10:46:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 14:56:15 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 14:56:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 28 12:32:46 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 12:32:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 23 16:49:57 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 16:49:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 23 09:09:43 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 09:10:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 18 11:20:52 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 11:20:52 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=5941385
