Average rating4
Now that Colin Grassick, a master glassblower from Scotland, has arrived to help at the Jordan glassworks, Meg Jordan’s dreams of teaching the poor, local children are coming true. Finally, someone will have time to make windows for the rural New Jersey schoolhouse, to keep out the cold—and vandals.
To Joseph Pyle, the wealthy, arrogant man to whom Meg will soon be betrothed, the destruction of Meg’s new windows is inconsequential—as his wife, she will be forbidden from teaching.
Why would Meg’s father insist she marry a man like Joseph and stay away from the endearing Colin?

Short and sweet. A young man is determined to forge a new life for himself in the New World as a talented glassblower. He meets his boss's daughter and is immediately intrigued, only to be warned off by a coworker. When Meg's father insists she must marry a neighbor she dislikes, she begs to be excused from the duty, but he says he has to. Why must she, and who is behind the little incidents that continue to damage the schoolhouse she loves?
Not a very deep story, but a fun one to read quickly when I was in need of a New Jersey book for a challenge.
